Ingredient Notes
Steak: Leftover steak works perfectly for this recipe, but if you’re cooking from scratch, be sure to cook your steak at medium heat to achieve medium-rare. This way, it won’t overcook when added to the egg mixture.
Olive Oil: A healthier alternative to vegetable oil, olive oil provides a richer flavor to your steak and vegetables. Feel free to use vegetable oil if that’s what you have on hand.
Green Bell Peppers: Adding green bell peppers not only provides a pop of color but also contributes a unique flavor profile. However, they can be substituted with other bell pepper variants as per your preference.
Eggs: Fresh eggs are key to a fluffy, delicious omelette. Remember to whisk them thoroughly before cooking.
How To Make a Steak Omelette
Cook the vegetables: In a large nonstick frying pan, add vegetable oil followed by onions and red bell peppers. Cook until translucent, five minutes.
Add your steak: Once your vegetables are cooked, add your steak and cook until tender. If you’re using raw steak, season and sear it beforehand and cook it fully when adding it to vegetables.
Wait for an internal temperature of 110˚F. Once all the filling is ready, remove it from the pan into a bowl and set aside.
Whisk your eggs: In a large bowl add eggs, paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk until your eggs are fully combined and set aside.
Cook your eggs: Heat a large nonstick frying pan. Add eggs and gently break with a spatula until curds form.
Add your filling: Add the steak filling and cook for another few minutes. Flip and place on a plate.
Garnish and serve: Garnish with any remaining filling, followed by cilantro, and serve.
Enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- For a fully incorporated omelette, make sure to whisk your eggs in a small bowl until the yolk and whites are completely mixed.
- While cooking your egg mixture in a large skillet, tilt the pan occasionally to allow the uncooked egg to flow to the edges. This makes your omelette cook evenly.
- Don’t rush the process. Keep your stove at a medium heat to avoid burning your omelette.
Storage & Reheating
Steak omelettes can be stored in the fridge for up to two days in a covered container. When reheating, use a covered skillet over medium heat, or reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. For the best results, avoid overcooking as it may toughen the steak and eggs.
Additions & Substitutions
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding green onions or a dollop of Kewpie Mayonnaise on top of the egg before serving. If you’re watching your diet, egg whites can be used for a healthier meal.
For a twist, why not try making a Philly cheese steak omelette? Simply replace the red bell peppers with green peppers, add some thinly sliced sweet onion, and top off with some melted cheddar cheese.
