Steak Cooking tips:
Use your favorite steak for this recipe and cook it to your desired temperature. This recipe is for a medium done steak. This recipe calls for scramble eggs since it’s for a large crowd but you can make the eggs anyway you like. If you cannot find tajin seasoning chili powder is a great substitute. Use your favorite cheese as a substitute for the pepper jack.
Can you make ahead?
Fridge: You can make the salsa and steak in advance. Keep them in separate in an airtight container for up to 3 days max. Reheat the steak in a 350 degree oven for 5-8 minutes.
