Steak & Eggs for Father's Day

Wednesday, June 17, 2020

Dad's going to love this brunch! Dust steak with coriander, salt & pepper, then pan-sear to perfection. Top sliced steak with a mouthwatering relish of juicy charred tomatoes, red onion, bright lemon, parsley & fresh jalapeño, then fry eggs on the side just the way you like them. Enjoy alongside a flavorful spinach sauté, complete with a touch of cream, a sprinkle of parmesan & crumbled bacon. This recipe was an instant favorite in the G&G test kitchen, and it will be the perfect Father's Day brunch for Dad this weekend!
