• 5 oz fresh baby spinach (about 6 cups / 140 g)

How to Make This Steak and Eggs Veggie Skillet

1. Cook the Steak: Season the steak with Montreal steak seasoning. Heat 1 tbsp butter or oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak for 3–4 minutes per side, or until your preferred doneness. Remove and let rest. Slice into thin strips.
2. Sauté the Veggies: In the same pan, add the remaining butter or oil. Toss in zucchini, yellow squash, and red pepper. Cook over medium heat until tender, about 5–6 minutes.
3. Add the Spinach: Stir in the baby spinach, salt, and pepper. Cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Transfer veggies to a plate and keep warm.
4. Fry the Eggs: In a clean skillet or the same one wiped clean, cook the eggs however you like—sunny-side up or over-easy works great. This takes about 3–4 minutes.
5. Assemble and Serve: Plate the veggies, add the steak slices on top, and finish with an egg per plate. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve hot.

Tips for Morning Magic

• Skirt steak cooks fast and has great flavor—just don’t overcook it.
• Add extra heat with chili flakes or a splash of hot sauce.
• Swap out zucchini for mushrooms or kale if you’re running low.
• Cooking for one? Just halve the ingredients and save the rest.
