Breakfast Steak
Ingredients
Directions
The book gives no cooking times; the times in the steps were added in transcription, so check for doneness rather than trusting the clock.
Cook the small sirloin steak on a hot grill or skillet for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness.
If cooking two steaks, increase cooking time as needed.
Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.

What each ingredient does
- Sirloin steak
- Is the main protein; its fat and connective tissue add flavour and juiciness when cooked.
The step that matters
Cooking to desired doneness. Steak keeps cooking from residual heat after it leaves the pan, so removing it just before the target doneness helps avoid overcooking. Cooking two steaks at once lowers pan temperature, so timing may need extending.
