Coffee Rubbed Wagyu Sizzler Steak and Eggs Served with Cheddar and Chive Hashbrown Patties

What a way to get the eyes opened, the body moving and your inner shine glowing! Seared coffee rubbed steaks served alongside a perfectly fried egg. The rich silky egg yolk of the sunny side up egg combined with the kicked-up coffee rubbed wagyu steak will fill your mouth with the warm glow of a northern Michigan sunrise.
A sizzler steak is also known as a petite sirloin. It is leaner than a New York Strip or a Rib Eye. It’s a great cut for pan searing and a more economical choice. A wagyu steak will have more feather fat than USDA Prime or Choice steaks, making for a very moist steak with deep flavor. The steak rub of espresso and ancho chili powder cuts through the richness of the steak and the oozing goodness of the egg yolk. A drizzle of fresh lime juice over the steaks brightens the flavors as the sun continues to rise in the east.
I highly recommend using local farm raised eggs. You will visually see that the yolk is a deep yellow almost orange color with tight egg whites. What you visually see is also reflected in the rich flavor of the egg yolk and the smooth (non-rubbery) texture of the egg whites.
Steak loves eggs but it also loves potatoes! I created hashbrown patties embellished with cheddar cheese and scallions. Crispy golden patties combined with nibbles of steak and eggs is an incomparable breakfast trio.
If you don’t want to head back to bed with an overly full stomach, you could forego the crispy hashbrowns and serve the steak and eggs with blanched asparagus drizzled with olive oil and lemon juice.
Here’s to getting up on the right side of the bed, starting the day with a delicious breakfast and taking a moment to appreciate the beauty of a Northern Michigan sunrise!
