Equipment
- 1 nonstick skillet
- 1 Rubber spatula
- 1 box grater
- 1 Cutting Board
- 1 Knife
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 large eggs
- 3 oz. leftover steak diced
- 1 small yellow onion or scallions diced
- 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- kosher salt and cracked black pepper
- ½ cup broccoli sprouts lettuce, or mixed greens
Instructions
- Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Add the onions and little salt and pepper and cook until soft and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the steak just to warm it through. Remove the steak and onions to a plate.
- Lower the heat and add the remaining butter.
- Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet.
- Use a rubber spatula to gently lift the edges as they set, letting the uncooked eggs run underneath. Tilt the pan so the eggs cook evenly.

- Fold the omelet over and slide onto a plate. Sprinkle with parsley.
- Serve with broccoli sprouts or greens on the side.
