My favorite TV show, The Chew, inspired this new brunch recipe. We decided to give it a try on Super Bowl Sunday. There is more than enough sauce with this one, so if you want to serve more than 4 just add more eggs, bread and sirloin.
INGREDIENTS
2 sirloin strip steaks (1/2 per person)
2 slices toasted english muffins (or other hearty bread) per person
8 large eggs to fry (2 per person)
Kosher salt
Cracked pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
Unsalted butter slices
SAUCE INGREDIENTS
8 egg yolks
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
5 TBSP lemon juice
Sea salt
White pepper
Dash tabasco
Fresh basil garnish
STEPS
1. Heat large cast iron skillet with some extra virgin olive oil on medium heat. Generously apply kosher salt and cracked pepper to both sides. Sear and cook about 4 minutes each side, til desired doneness.
2. While steaks are cooking, prepare sauce. Put the yolks, lemon juice, sea salt and tabasco in a blender and blend for 20 seconds with the center cap removed. Slowly pour the butter and continue to combine. Then add the white pepper. (I poured in a pitcher and warmed it before serving)
3. When steaks are done, start the fried eggs. Place as many as will fit in a skillet heated with 1/2 TBSP of butter. Cook eggs til whites thicken, then flip and briefly cook the 'top' til desired doneness. We like them runny. Two over-easy fried eggs per eater.
4. Toast the english muffins while eggs are in the skillet, and slice the sirloin into diagonal strips.
5. When the eggs are done, assemble as follows on a plate for each: 2 toasted english muffins, dollop of Sauce, slices of sirloin, egg, cover with Sauce. Top with basil garnish. Serve immediately and season with Sea salt to taste.
Oh. My. Yum. 4 paws for sure and this goes on our "rotation". This is the best Hollandaise I've come across - thank you, TheChew! So easy to make. This is great for company and even fun for dinner. I can't wait to make it again. Next time I may marinate the steak and try a thicker bakery bread but I won't touch the sauce.
