How to serve Smoked Tomahawk and Fried Eggs Board
To really impress, consider presenting this dish on a rustic wooden board. Lay out the sliced tomahawk steak first, then add the fried eggs carefully. Nestle the avocado slices next to the fruit for a burst of color. You can even add some crispy bread on the side for dipping, enhancing the whole experience. A chilled glass of orange juice or a savory bloody mary pairs beautifully with this dish, turning your meal into a luxurious dining event.
How to store
If you have leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge. The smoked steak and fried eggs can last for up to three days. When reheating, use a low heat to maintain the texture and flavor of the steak. If you want to freeze, consider slicing the steak first and wrapping it tightly to prevent freezer burn. Remember, always adhere to food safety guidelines and consume within safe time frames.
Tips to make
One trick to elevate your smoked tomahawk steak is to use a flavored wood for smoking—applewood or hickory can impart a wonderful flavor. Also, for the eggs, a splash of cream or milk can make them extra fluffy if you’re scrambling! And don’t be shy with the seasoning; it’s essential for bringing out the steak’s robust character.
Variations
Feel free to get creative! Try adding different toppings like spicy sriracha or a drizzle of hollandaise sauce over the eggs for a unique twist. If you’re looking to modify the dish, consider using different cuts of steak or even going vegetarian with grilled vegetables and a tofu scramble instead. The beauty of this board is its versatility—tailor it to suit your craving.
