- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for finishing)
For the Buttery Potatoes:

- 1 tbsp whipped cream cheese (optional topping)
For the Cheesy Scrambled Eggs:

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Potatoes
Preheat your oven or skillet to 400°F. Toss quartered baby potatoes in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes or pan-fry on medium-high heat until golden and crisp. Top with whipped cream cheese while hot.
Step 2: Sear the Steak Medallions
Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak medallions, season with salt and cracked pepper, and sear 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare. During the final minute, add garlic and butter, spooning the melted mixture over the steak.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. In a nonstick pan, melt butter over low heat. Pour in the eggs and stir gently. Add cheese halfway through and cook until creamy and just set.
Step 4: Assemble the Plate
Arrange steak medallions, potatoes, scrambled eggs, and diced avocado on a plate. Season to taste and serve hot.
