    Can you name a better combination than steak and roasted potatoes? Me neither. This steak omelette recipe brings the delicious taste of steak and turns it into a breakfast. Pair it with roasted potatoes and you are looking at a morning feast that’s perfect for when you have leftover steak. 

    This recipe is relatively easy and is a great way to increase your protein intake in the morning. It also has vegetables like red bell peppers and red onions, which are great sources of nutrients.

    When making this recipe, you can either use fresh steak or leftover steak. If it is leftover steak, when reheating it, make sure that it reaches an internal temperature of 110°F, especially if the steak is rare or medium rare. 

    If making omelettes are a little daunting, I highly recommend taking your time and lowering the temperature to let the omelette cook longer. That way, you will have more time to correct any issues that arise. 

    What You Need To Make a Steak Omelette 

    The majority of the ingredients, such as the vegetables, are best served fresh, so this entails only a quick trip to the grocery store. As mentioned, the steak can be fresh or leftover. If this is a fresh steak, be sure to cook it at medium rare as there will be a second cook when mixed with the vegetables.
