Steak Shakshuka
A hearty, protein-packed twist on a classic! This savory shakshuka is made with rich marinara, tender grass-fed sirloin steak, and perfectly cooked eggs — perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dinner. Pair it with a slice of toasted sourdough for the ultimate comfort meal.
Ingredients:
1 diced yellow onion
1 diced yellow bell pepper
2–3 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp dried basil
1 tbsp paprika
Sprinkle of red chili flakes
4 organic free-range eggs
2 cups diced tomatoes
1 lb grass-fed sirloin steak (I love the pre-cooked one from Costco)
2 cups marinara sauce (Rao’s or Pasesana recommended)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese, to top
Optional: 1 slice sourdough bread, toasted, for dipping
Instructions:
Sauté the Veggies: In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for 4–5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add Tomatoes & Sauce: Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook until they begin to break down and soften, about 5 minutes.
Season & Simmer: Add the marinara sauce, basil, paprika, red chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer and thicken for about 10 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Prepare the Steak: While the sauce is thickening, warm up the pre-cooked sirloin steak. Dice it into bite-sized pieces and add it to the sauce. Stir to combine.
Cook the Eggs: Make small wells in the sauce and crack in the eggs. Cover and let cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the eggs reach your preferred doneness.
Finish & Serve: Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve with toasted sourdough on the side for dipping. Enjoy warm!
