- Once ready, place Steak And Scrambled Eggs onto a serving plate.

Notes
The key to cooking the steak is to anticipate that it will cook more when you let it rest. So ideally, you want to take it out of the pan while it is still undercooked.
Keep in mind that shallots cook much differently than onions. They are a lot less forgiving and you are going to want to not let these overcook or they will give off a bitter taste. So instead of looking for these shallots to go translucent, look for them to go white.
If you don't have chives and shallots, red onions and green onions are also possible. If you want to elevate it even more, white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar is a great way to even turn the ingredients into a compound butter before using.
A sirloin cut of even beef strips could work if you are looking for a cost-efficient cut of meat. If you’re a vegetarian, a tofu steak or seitan meal can also work instead of a slab of steak. If you want a meatier steak, a filet is a great option or a flat iron will also do the trick.
