What it usually includes 🍳🥩
- Steak: Often ribeye, sirloin, or New York strip, seasoned with salt and pepper and pan-seared or grilled.
- Eggs: Fried, scrambled, or sunny-side up.
- Optional sides: Hash browns, toast, avocado, or sautéed vegetables.
Why people like it
- High protein: Helps with muscle building and satiety.
- Low carb option: Common in keto or carnivore diets.
- Very filling: Keeps you full for hours.

- Sear in a hot pan with butter or oil (3–4 minutes per side depending on thickness).
