Venison Skirt Steak And Eggs Recipe That Will Leave You Wanting More

This savory venison skirt steak and eggs recipe makes for a great breakfast dish.

If you aren't from the South and have never tried steak and eggs this venison skirt steak and eggs recipe is highly encouraged to be your first experience. It might even leave you longing for more.

You might be asking what exactly is a skirt steak? Not to be confused with a flank steak, a skirt steak is a thin strip cut from the diaphragm muscle on cattle or wild game. It isn't tender like filet mignon, but it is very rich in flavor and great for steak and eggs or steak fajitas.

There are a lot of variations to this recipe one could try. For example, in this recipe, I cook scrambled eggs. But, if you prefer fried eggs or eggs over easy, that works just as well. I encourage venison, but if you don't have venison readily available, you can grab a beef skirt steak from your local butcher. Another option is to substitute a different cut of venison steak such as a sirloin.

Skirt steaks are also used for a number of other great traditional steak recipes, including stir fry and Philly cheesesteaks. However, steak and eggs is a true southern, American recipe that's shared around tables all the time. It's especially common in the southwest United States. You can also use green onions and red peppers if you want to spice it up a little bit.

Next time you travel to the South look for a local restaurant that serves steak and eggs and you won't be disappointed.
