Frequently Asked Questions

What can I substitute for steak fillets in this recipe?

You can substitute steak fillets with chicken breasts, pork chops, or even plant-based proteins like tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian option. Adjust cooking times accordingly as different proteins require different cooking durations.

How should I store leftovers from this recipe?

Store any leftover steak, eggs, or fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should be consumed within 3 days for best quality. Reheat gently in the oven or on the stove to retain crispness for the fries.

What if my eggs don't fry sunny side up perfectly?

If your eggs stick to the pan or don’t cook evenly, ensure your skillet is well-heated and coated with enough oil. Cooking on low heat can help prevent burning while allowing the whites to set before flipping, or you can cover the skillet with a lid to help the tops cook without flipping.
