If you're tired of steak, then you're tired of life my friend. Imagine, you wake up in the morning and you're presented with this beefy, cheesy, eggy wonder that is my breakfast steak sandwich. Don't settle for cereal, toast or some BS granola and berries. Make this, and start your day with a bang!

Admittedly you are not going to have this steak sandwich every day. Because let's face it, it's not exactly 'health food' is it now, so treat it as a....treat! The key to making a great steak sandwich starts with the steak itself. I used a nice dry aged sirloin, but use whatever steak you prefer. A simple marinade of garlic, pepper and some cayenne is all you need.

Don't add too many flavourings as you'll mask the taste of the beef. Of course I'm also using that processed cheese rubbish, because it just works doesn't it. I know I know it's not real cheese, but it melts so well, it has a cheesy saltiness, and no other cheese works as well in my opinion. Save your fancy aged cheddars for the cheese board.

To make my breakfast steak sandwich you will need:

• About 450g of sirloin steak thinly sliced

• About 150g of pre cooked new potatoes

• 2 brioche buns or burger buns

• Sliced red onion

• 2 cloves of garlic (one for spuds one for steak)

• About 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper (add more or less depending on how spicy you want it)

• Rapeseed or olive oil

• 2 slices of American or processed cheese

For the sauce:

• About 4 tbsp of kewpie mayo

• 1-2 tsp of horseradish cream

• About 1 tbsp of ketchup

• Salt & pepper

Method:

Trim & slice the steak

1. First trim off any large chunks of fat, sinew and any silver skin. Then slice the steak against the grain into strips around 1/2cm thick.

2. Add the steak strips to a bowl, Then add a little oil, black pepper, cayenne pepper and one clove of minced garlic. Then simply mix all the seasonings into the steak and leave to one side until needed.

Make the sauce

1. Add the mayonnaise, horseradish, pepper, salt & pepper and the ketchup to a bowl and mix until well combined. Cover, and leave in the fridge until needed. This sauce also benefits from sitting for a good half an hour at least to develop the flavours.

Potatoes!

1. Take a frying pan and add a little oil before putting onto a medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, add your pre cooked new potatoes.

2. As the potatoes start to fry, gently press the potatoes down with the back of a spoon until they split open and flatten slightly. This creates more surface area to get crispy and absorb flavour.

3. Next add some fresh rosemary, and squish it up in your hand a little to release the oils. Add a lightly crushed garlic clove, butter and a pinch of salt and pepper.

4. Continue to fry the potatoes until lightly golden brown and crispy. Leave to one side on a warm plate until needed.

Fry the steak

1. Just before frying off the steak, if you want your buns toasted do them now by spreading a little butter on the cut side, and placing them face down in a dry hot pan for a minute or so.

2. Add your steak slices to a frying pan on a medium high heat for about a minute. Add a little salt, then divide the steak into two little piles in the pan and turn off the heat.

3. Add a slice of processed American burger cheese to the top of each pile and allow the cheese to melt in the residual heat of the pan.

Assemble your steak sandwich

1. Take the bottom of your toasted buns and add a thin layer of the burger sauce we made earlier.

2. Next add a few of the seasoned crushed crispy new potatoes.

3. Next take one of your steak and cheese piles and lay it on top of the potatoes.

4. Lastly add a few thin slices of red onion, top with a fried egg, whack the lid on and enjoy!

Serve with fries or enjoy on it’s own!
