Following a keto diet doesn't mean sacrificing flavor—or feeling full. A well-balanced, satisfying breakfast can help set the tone for the entire day. And when you're on keto, a breakfast packed with healthy fats and quality protein can make all the difference.
That’s where the steak and egg breakfast bowl comes in. It’s easy to make, filling, and made with simple, wholesome ingredients like flank steak, scrambled eggs, and a scoop of Sandhu’s MCT Powder to give it that extra keto-friendly kick. Seasoned just right with salt and pepper, this bowl checks all the boxes for a quick and energizing keto breakfast.
Let’s dive into why this combo works so well on keto, how to make it at home, and what makes it a go-to for many people following a low-carb lifestyle.
Why Steak and Eggs Are Perfect for Keto
The keto diet is high in fat, moderate in protein, and very low in carbs. This way of eating helps your body rely on fat for energy instead of carbs, keeping you in a metabolic state called ketosis. To stay on track, it's important to eat meals that help maintain this balance.
Here’s why steak and eggs fit perfectly:
- High-quality protein: Flank steak and eggs both offer complete protein to help support muscle repair and everyday energy needs.
- Healthy fats: Eggs provide natural fats, and adding MCT oil powder gives you a quick source of fat that converts to energy faster than other types.
- Zero sugar, low carb: With no added sugars or starches, this breakfast bowl supports your keto goals.
- Keeps you full: Protein and fat together help you feel satisfied longer, so you're less likely to snack before lunch.
Ingredients You’ll Need
To build this simple and satisfying steak and egg breakfast bowl, here’s what you’ll need:
Main Ingredients:
- 5 oz flank steak (cooked to your liking)
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil (for cooking)
- 1 scoop Sandhu’s MCT Powder (unflavored or flavored, as you prefer)
Optional Add-ons (All Keto-Friendly):
- Half an avocado (sliced)
- A handful of spinach (lightly sautéed)
- Shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- Chopped green onions or fresh herbs
These add-ons not only help balance the meal but also bring more flavor and texture to your bowl.
How to Make Your Steak and Egg Breakfast Bowl
Let’s break it down into easy steps.
Step 1: Cook the Flank Steak
Season your steak with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil or butter. Cook for about 3–4 minutes on each side if you like it medium-rare. Adjust time based on your preferred doneness.
Once done, remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice it thinly across the grain for tender bites.
Step 2: Scramble the Eggs
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low. Crack in the eggs and scramble gently. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook until soft and fluffy. You can stir in cheese or chopped spinach at this stage, if you’d like.
Step 3: Add MCT Powder
Once your eggs are done and slightly cooled (but still warm), stir in 1 scoop of Sandhu’s MCT Powder. It blends best when added to warm—not hot—food. This step helps add clean fat to your bowl, which is ideal for anyone on a keto diet.
Tip: Make sure to stir well so the MCT powder mixes evenly into the eggs.
Step 4: Assemble the Bowl
Now it’s time to build your bowl. Start with the scrambled eggs at the base. Top with sliced steak, avocado, sautéed spinach, or any extras you enjoy. A sprinkle of herbs or cheese adds a final touch of flavor.
What Makes This Bowl Keto-Friendly?
The secret is in the macros—and the ingredients. Here’s a breakdown of why this bowl works well as a keto breakfast:
- Low carbs: No grains, bread, or starchy vegetables.
- Healthy fats: Eggs, steak, avocado, and especially the MCT Powder provide fats that support steady energy.
- Clean protein: Flank steak and eggs give you the building blocks your body needs without added carbs.
- MCTs: Short for medium-chain triglycerides, these fats are often used by people on keto to help support mental clarity and fuel physical activity.
Sandhu’s MCT Powder is a convenient way to add MCTs to your diet without needing to measure oil or worry about mess. It’s tasteless and mixes smoothly, especially in warm foods like scrambled eggs.
Make It Your Own
One of the best parts about this steak and egg breakfast bowl is that you can customize it based on your mood or what you have on hand. Here are a few ideas:
- Swap the flank steak for ground beef, grilled chicken, or leftover steak from dinner.
- Add a spoonful of salsa or a drizzle of sugar-free hot sauce for some kick.
- Use goat cheese, feta, or cream cheese for different textures and flavors.
- Want more veggies? Try adding mushrooms, zucchini, or kale—just keep it low-carb.
You can prep the steak ahead of time to save a few minutes during the morning rush. Leftover steak from dinner also works perfectly here.
