Ditch the English muffin in this over-the-top Steak and egg breakfast. We like beef tenderloin topped with a poached egg and Hollandaise sauce.

Steak Benedict

By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime

Spring has arrived! Yay! Joie de Vivre!

It’s also my birthday! Yay!

…Not so excited about having to be twenty-nine yet again though. But I doubt anyone will believe I’m 26. Or even 29 for that matter.

Yes, I was born on the first day of Spring, which is the Spring equinox. Some years it comes on the 21st, but the year I was born and this year as well it is on the 20th. And cause for celebration in my home, as well as many others not just because of the official start of the next season, but because the date itself carries much cultural significance, including being New years Day in some cultures.

Many cultures celebrate the planting season this time of year. So fertility is part of the focus of the day, and with fertility comes eggs, which is what the Sunday Supper tastemakers are having fun sharing recipes for this week. So it is a good thing all the Spring chickens out there are doing their laying, because you will need a baker’s dozen of eggs…or more! To have enough to just get started with these delicious recipes.

For my choice, I have opted to do steak benedict, which is a play on eggs benedict, the classic egg dish of a poached egg and Canadian bacon on an English muffin covered with Hollandaise sauce. But you won’t find any muffin here. I decided to drop the carbs and gluten as much as possible and keep it very high protein, so instead of a bed of English muffin this will be an egg perched on top of a beef tenderloin steak (filet mignon). I haven’t forgotten the Canadian bacon, but instead of that, I wrapped the filets with prosciutto before grilling to help keep them moist, the same way you would put bacon around a filet. It works very well, actually. I love the results and think you will too. So for having a special occasion breakfast of brinner (breakfast for dinner) this recipe could be just the thing you are looking for.

And even though I list it as an advanced recipe, I don’t find this difficult, and with a little practice I don’t think you will either. I know a lot of people are timid about poaching an egg, but it really isn’t hard at all and I do it all the time, easy as a fried egg. And don’t be intimidated by Hollandaise sauce- just don’t let it overheat and it is as easy as making biscuit gravy.
I hope you enjoy!
