After removing the steak from the skillet, heat another tablespoon of olive oil in the same skillet and add [2 cups] of chopped vegetables ([onion], [mushrooms], and [bell peppers]). Cook for 5-7 minutes until soft and tender.

Whisk [8] eggs in a mixing bowl with [1/4 cup] of milk, then pour them into your skillet with your sautéed veggies and cook for about 3-4 minutes stirring continuously until they are cooked through.

Substitutions and Variations
I’m a firm believer that cooking should be fun and easy, and that means not being constrained by a recipe’s exact ingredients. So, if you’re missing a few items, don’t worry! Here are some simple substitutions and variations you can use to make this recipe your own:
– The beauty of the steak and egg burrito is that you can use any leftover steak you have on hand. Try using ribeye steak, carne asada or skirt steak.
– If you don’t have Worcestershire sauce or would like to try something different, soy sauce is an excellent substitute. It provides the same savory flavor without the added sweetness.
– For a vegetarian option, omit the steak and add more veggies! You can use zucchinis, potatoes, sweet potatoes, or any other vegetables of your liking.
– Don’t have fresh mushrooms? No problem! You can substitute with canned or leave them out without affecting the overall flavor too much.
– If you want to make your burritos extra cheesy, use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar cheese.
– If you’re watching your carb intake or avoiding flour tortillas, try wrapping your ingredients in lettuce leaves instead for an egg wrap or grilled breakfast that’s carb-free!
Remember to have fun with these recipe variations: they’re meant to be creative and make cooking an enjoyable experience. With all these options available, the possibilities are endless!
Serving and Pairing
Now that your steak and egg burritos are hot and ready, it’s time to serve up this mouthwatering dish! This recipe is perfect for a hearty breakfast, a quick lunch, or even as an easy dinner option. Serve alongside some fresh fruit, like sliced melon or berries, to give your meal a refreshing balance.
For those who enjoy spice, consider adding some hot sauce or salsa on the side to kick up the heat of this dish even more. I prefer pairing with some creamy guacamole as it adds a cool, creamy texture against the smoky flavors of the steak.
If you’re looking for a heartier meal, consider adding a side of refried beans or rice. The combination of beans and eggs will provide you with a great protein source and will leave you feeling full all morning long.

Tips for Perfect Results
I’ve made these steak and egg burritos countless times, and through trial and error, I’ve learned a few tricks to help make them perfect every time. Here are my top tips for making the best burritos:
Firstly, when it comes to cooking the steak, go for a ribeye or skirt steak. These cuts have beautiful marbling that will keep the meat moist and tender after grilling or frying. Leftover steak from a previous meal works great too.
Secondly, don’t overcook the scrambled eggs. We want soft, fluffy curds that will soak into the tortillas without turning them soggy. When you’re whisking the eggs in a bowl, add a splash of milk to make them even creamier.
Thirdly, pick a flavorful cheese for your burrito. I prefer pepper jack as it adds an extra kick of heat that goes well with the rest of the ingredients.
Fourthly, warm up your tortillas before assembling the burritos. This makes them more pliable and less likely to crack when you fold them. You can pop them in the microwave for 15 seconds or warm them on a skillet until slightly golden.
Fifthly, don’t be shy with the fresh cilantro and lime juice. They add brightness and freshness to the final dish that brings everything together beautifully.
Lastly, use high-quality ingredients. From the beef to the vegetables and herbs, it’s important to choose fresh produce that’s in season for optimal flavor. Plus, using premium ingredients always adds a bit of extra magic to any home cooked meal.
By following these tips, you’ll ensure that every bite of your steak and egg burritos is bursting with flavor and perfectly balanced.
