Tips for a perfect breakfast steak skillet:

• Use a tender beef cut like sirloin, top loin, or ribeye. We went with sirloin, but you can choose your preferred cut. Keep in mind that the fat content will differ accordingly. • Cook the steak bites in a hot pan. The caramelization will give more flavor and keep the meat juicy on the inside. • Cut the potatoes into small cubes to crisp up and cook quickly.

Can you replace the potato with another vegetable?

Potato is the perfect vegetable for carb cycling recipes because of its high carb content. You can add as much or as little depending on your daily allowed carbs. You can replace it with other high-carb veggies like sweet potatoes or cassava. If you aren’t interested in carb cycling breakfast recipes, you can replace the potatoes with low-carb veggies like cauliflower, celeriac, parsnip, or kohlrabi.

Is this breakfast skillet suitable for meal prep?

Absolutely! The best moderate carb recipes are ones that are meal prep-friendly. This dish is perfect because it is quick to prepare and tastes just as good the following days. After preparing the dish, divide it into airtight containers. Store it in the refrigerator with your desired side for up to 3 days. Serve it cold or warm for breakfast or lunch.
