Steak N Quail Eggs
This simple but wonderful dish was made with a previously marinated London broil steak (that I sliced up for breakfast and will have the rest on a salad for lunch during the week). Our Chimichurri sauce was drizzled over the steak. Served alongside some of our home-fried potatoes. I have these wonderful neighbors who raise quail and I am the fortunate recipient of these beautiful eggs most all year around. The quail eggs are poached and plated on top of the hash browns.
Ingredients
- 1 Marinated London Broil Steak Sliced Thin
- 3-4 Quail Eggs Per Dish
- 1 Teaspoon White Vinegar
- Chimichurri Sauce See our recipe
- Home-fried Potatoes See our recipe
Instructions
- Grill the London Broil and slice thin (3-4 Slices per plate). The steak can be served room temperature.
- Prep the Chimichurri sauce according to our recipe.
- Cook your home-fries potatoes according to our recipe.
- Boil water for the quail eggs and add a tablespoon of vinegar. (This helps the white to stay together in the water).
- Crack the eggs one at a time and drop into the boiling water.
- Reduce the heat and only cook each egg for 2-3 minutes as you want the yolk to be lightly cooked but the white firm.
- Tip: Have your meal plated before dropping the eggs so all you have to do is top the steak with the Chimichurri sauce.
Notes
The consistency of the egg is a bit different from the chicken egg as it holds more yolk than white, however, the flavor is very similar and mild.
The shell is different, aside from being a beautiful speckled design, it is quite thick.
Btw: There are some species of quail, called Bob Whites that lay all white eggs.
For cracking the egg my neighbor bought me a special tool that looks like a strange pair of scissors and it works wonderfully when poaching eggs as we have done here.
