Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season 10 oz Angus steak with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, then remove and rest on a plate.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 6 oz breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle 2 tbsp all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage, stirring constantly for 1 minute until the flour is absorbed and slightly toasted.
  4. Step 4: Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups whole milk, stirring continuously over medium heat until the gravy thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425°F. Spread 12 oz frozen thick-cut fries on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tbsp melted butter, and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.
  6. Step 6: In a separate non-stick pan, cook 2 large eggs any style (fried, scrambled, or poached) to your preference.
  7. Step 7: Toast 2 slices of bread until golden brown.
  8. Step 8: Serve the rested steak topped with sausage gravy alongside hoe fries, eggs, and toast for a hearty breakfast or brunch.
