👨‍🍳 InstructionsStep 1: Make the Chimichurri

In a bowl, combine parsley, garlic, oregano, chili flakes, and vinegar.

Slowly drizzle in olive oil while stirring until fully combined.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it sit for 30 min for max flavor!

Step 2: Prep the Fries
Soak the cut fries in cold water for 30 min to remove excess starch.

Drain and pat dry with paper towels.

Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy.

Rest the steak for 5–10 min before slicing.

Step 4: Make the Peppercorn Sauce
In the same pan, melt butter. Sauté shallots until soft.

Add peppercorns, then deglaze with brandy (carefully—flambé if you dare!).

Stir in broth and reduce by half.

Add cream, simmer until thickened. Season to taste.

🍽️ Serve it Up!

Slice steak and arrange on a wooden board or plate.

Add fries on the side.

Serve chimichurri and peppercorn sauce in small ramekins or drizzle over the top.

Sprinkle flaky sea salt and a touch of chopped parsley over everything for that final flourish 🌿✨

🔥 Pro Tips:
Want that perfect sear? Use cast iron and don’t crowd the pan.

Double-fry the fries for extra crispness: first at 325°F, then again at 375°F.

Chimichurri gets better as it sits—make it a day ahead!

Salt & black pepper, to taste

1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 cup buttermilk

For the Sautéed Green Beans:

1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp butter
Salt & black pepper, to taste

🔪 Prep the Ingredients
Prep the Steak Bites and Eggs:
Pat the steak cubes dry. In a bowl, toss with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Make the Grits:
In a saucepan, bring water and milk to a boil. Slowly whisk in the grits, reduce heat to low, and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Stir in butter, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Keep warm.
Prep the Biscuits:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk until a dough forms. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/2-inch thickness, cut into rounds, and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.

Make the Sautéed Green Beans:
Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Drain. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat, add minced garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds. Add green beans, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender.

🔥 Cook the Steak and Eggs!
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and medium-rare (or to your desired doneness). Remove the steak bites and set aside.

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium, add butter, and crack the eggs into the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Return the steak bites to the skillet to warm through.

🍴 Serve It Like This:
In a meal container or skillet, place a portion of the seared steak bites and sunny-side-up eggs.

Add a scoop of creamy grits, a warm biscuit, and a serving of garlicky green beans on the side.

Pair with a cup of coffee or fresh orange juice ☕🍊

🔥 Pro Tips:
For extra creamy grits, stir in a little extra butter or cream at the end.

Don’t overcrowd the skillet when searing the steak to get a good crust.

Add a pinch of smoked paprika to the green beans for a smoky Southern twist.

Enjoy guys!
