Ingredients You Will Need
This American-style breakfast doesn’t require too many cooking skills or complex ingredients. As most of the spices are pantry-ready, you have to pay a visit to your local grocery store just for the beef and veggies.
Let’s skim through the list of ingredients:
- Beef: While the flank and skirt cuts are ideal for grilling, tenderloin is the showstopper for any steak dish. Tenderloin is the most tender cut, as it has fewer connective tissues. Taste wise, it has a mild and buttery beefy flavor that pairs excellently with many aromatics like rosemary, thyme, and sage.
- Eggs: Nothing is more satisfying than cutting into a sunny-side up egg and watching the rich egg yolk oozing out. Our team has prepared a step-by-step recipe, revealing all the secrets to this sumptuous creation.
- Asparagus: This low-calorie, fibrous green possesses a subtle, bittersweet taste and a crunchy texture. Since the flavor profile of green beans and broccoli is quite similar to asparagus, you can opt for either as a substitute.
- Cherry tomatoes: When roasted to a soft texture in an oven, cherry tomatoes taste sweet and slightly tangy. Nutritionally, ripened tomatoes are a great source of lycopene, which can help prevent heart disease.
- Butter: For convenience, we use regular unsalted butter, but if you want to impart a more herbal aftertaste to the beef, go with herb butter instead.
- Red wine: We love using full-bodied red wines as they give a richer and sharper taste than white wines. Cabernet Sauvignon, which has fruity notes of black cherry, plum, and warm spices, is a top-notch option.
- Gravy mix: You can purchase less-sodium gravy mix at most grocery stores, or make it yourself by combining beef bouillon granules, all-purpose flour, butter, pepper, and cold water.
- Garlic and shallot: The combination of garlic and shallot gives a robust aroma to your beef.
- Herbs: While rosemary infuses our tenderloin steak with a pinewood scent, oregano delivers an earthy, minty note.

INGREDIENTS
- 26 oz tenderloin steak
- 4 small eggs
- 14 oz asparagus (trimmed ends)
- 8 oz cherry tomatoes
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (divided)
- 1 tbsp brown gravy mix
- 4 fl oz red wine
- 4 sprigs rosemary
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp shallot (coarsely chopped)
- 1/2 tsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp oregano
- 2 tbsp parsley
- 1/2 tsp salt (divided)
- 1/2 tsp pepper (divided)
INSTRUCTIONS
Prep:
Use a chef’s knife to trim off the silver skin and any excess fat from the tenderloin steak. Slice the steak across its grain into 2-inch cuts.
Use a peeler to peel off the woody ends of the bottom half of each asparagus.
Slice off the stem of the shallot. Peel and discard the skin. Separate the bulbs and chop them into large pieces.
Cook:
Fry the eggs: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Crack 4 small eggs, one at a time, into the pan. Cook them until the white is set but the yolk is still runny, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Cook the steak: Place a skillet over high heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil. When the pan is sizzling hot, lower the heat, and place 26 oz tenderloin steak in the pan. Pan sear each side for 2 minutes while seasoning both sides evenly with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
Infuse the steak with herbs: In the same skillet, add 1/2 tbsp butter, 4 sprigs of rosemary, and 2 cloves of garlic. Stir well for another 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
Bake the beef and vegetables: Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place the steak, 14 oz asparagus, and 8 oz cherry tomatoes on the tray, then bake them in an oven at 450 °F for 10 minutes. Remove the beef from the oven, and continue baking the vegetables for 5 more minutes.
Make the sauce: In the same skillet used earlier, add 1/2 tbsp butter and 1 tsp shallot, and sauté for 30 seconds. Next, pour in 4 fl oz red wine, 1 tbsp gravy mix, and 1/2 tsp flour. Mix well for 30 seconds. Finally, add 1/2 cup water, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Stir frequently for another 2 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Garnish and serve: Place each steak onto a serving plate, sprinkle 1 tsp oregano, and then drizzle the wine sauce. Garnish with 2 tbsp parsley. Enjoy.
