Method

Preparation of Steak

  1. 1

    Cook the Steak

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and black pepper. Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    For green sauce, blend tomatillos, jalapeño, onion, and garlic until smooth. For red sauce, blend tomatoes, jalapeño, onion, and garlic until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt.

  2. 3

    Heat the Sauce

    In the same skillet used for the steak, add another tablespoon of olive oil and the blended sauce. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.

Eggs Cooking

  1. 4

    Fry the Eggs

    In a separate skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your preferred doneness (sunny-side up or over-easy).

Assemble the Dish

  1. 5

    Plate the Huevos Rancheros

    On a plate, place the cooked rice and beans on the side. Lay the tortillas flat, top each with a fried egg, slices of steak, and generously pour the sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
