Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon honey

- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 cup cooked black beans (optional)

How to Make Steak with Poached Egg and Spicy Sauce
- Start by marinating the flank steak. In a bowl, mix together olive oil, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Coat the steak in the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
- While the steak is marinating, prepare the spicy sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together any remaining marinade with a little extra sriracha and rice vinegar for an added kick. Set aside.
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated flank steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- While the steak rests, bring a saucepan of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then carefully slide them into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
- Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips. Arrange the steak on plates, top with the poached eggs, and drizzle with the spicy sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with black beans if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- Allow the steak to reach room temperature before cooking for more even cooking.
- Use fresh eggs for the best poaching results.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha in the sauce to suit your spice preference.
- Ensure the water is at a gentle simmer when poaching eggs to prevent them from breaking apart.
Easy Variations
- Swap flank steak for sirloin or ribeye for different flavors and textures.
- Add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrients.
- Use a different sauce, such as chimichurri or a creamy jalapeño sauce, for a unique twist.
- Serve over a bed of arugula or mixed greens for a fresh salad option.
What to Serve With It
- Crispy roasted potatoes or sweet potato fries for a satisfying side.
- A fresh garden salad with a tangy vinaigrette to balance the richness.
- Grilled asparagus or green beans for a vibrant vegetable option.
- Fresh crusty bread to soak up the spicy sauce.
