History

Steak and eggs had emerged as an Australian breakfast by the 1880s. During the Second World War, it declined as a breakfast staple in Australia due to food rationing. Today it is primarily associated with American breakfast cuisine. [3] [4] [5]

Ingredients

Various types of beefsteaks can be used, such as ribeye, strip, sirloin and flank, [6] [1] [7] [8] among others. Additional ingredients may include capsicum, garlic, onion, butter, salt, pepper, hot sauce, and other seasonings or condiments. [6] [1] Accompaniments may include various sauces, such as steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, chimichurri and others. [1] [7]

Variations

Variations include steak and egg sandwiches, open sandwiches and steak and Eggs Benedict. [2] [9] A version of steak and egg salad uses greens such as arugula, poached eggs and steak. [10]

In culture

Steak and eggs is the traditional breakfast served to NASA astronauts before a launch. The tradition was established after Alan Shepard had steak and eggs for breakfast the morning before his flight on May 5, 1961. [11]
