Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Rub the steak with olive oil, garlic powder, chili flakes, salt, and pepper, pressing the seasonings into the meat so they adhere. Heat a grill or a heavy skillet over high heat until it's smoking hot, then cook the steak for 3–4 minutes per side for medium doneness, flipping once. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing; this locks in the juices and ensures a tender, flavorful result.
-
Step 2.
While the steak rests, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over low heat, then pour in the egg mixture. Cook gently, stirring constantly with a spatula, scraping the bottom and sides, until the eggs form soft, creamy curds; they should look glossy and slightly underdone when you remove them from the heat, as they'll finish cooking from residual heat.
-
Step 3.
While the eggs are cooking, prepare the avocado: cut it in half, remove the pit, and score the flesh lightly with a knife if desired. Sprinkle the avocado half with chili-lime seasoning, crumbled cotija cheese, and minced onion, pressing the toppings gently so they stick.
-
Step 4.
After the steak has rested, slice it thinly against the grain into strips. Arrange the sliced steak, creamy scrambled eggs, and seasoned avocado half on a plate or in a bowl to create a balanced high-protein breakfast.
-
Step 5.
If desired, garnish the dish with lime wedges, sliced green onions, or a drizzle of hot sauce to add brightness and extra heat.
