• Preparation Time: 15 minutes
• Cooking Time: 20-25 minutes
• Total Time: 35-40 minutes
• Ingredients:

  For the Steak:

  • 1 lb (450g) flank steak or ribeye, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  For the Waffles:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  Optional Toppings:

  • Fried eggs
  • Avocado slices
  • Hot sauce
  • Chopped chives

  Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Steak:
     • In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
     • Add the sliced steak to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the waffle batter.
  2. Prepare the Waffle Batter:
     • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
     • In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
     • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  3. Cook the Steak:
     • Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak slices and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  4. Cook the Waffles:
     • Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
     • Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
     • Pour the waffle batter into the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Assemble the Breakfast Waffles:
     • Place a cooked waffle on a plate. Top with a generous amount of sliced steak.
     • Add any optional toppings like fried eggs, avocado slices, hot sauce, and chopped chives.
  6. Serve and Enjoy:
     • Serve immediately while the waffles are warm and crispy.
