Plant-Based Steak and 'Eggs'

A HEARTY, PROTEIN PACKED BREAKFAST

Steak and eggs: a classic breakfast, but make it plant-based! Inspired by Lizzo's viral moment (yes, the Lizzo), this dish is a tribute to protein enthusiasts and breakfast lovers alike. We're taking the bold flavors of Juicy Marbles filet and pairing them with a juicy tofu scramble that’s miles ahead of the dry, boring recipes you might’ve had before.

The secret? A velvety sauce made from sunflower seeds, spices, and just the right amount of tang. Toss in some fresh herbs, sautéed mushrooms, and a hint of garlic, and you’ve got a dish that’s equal parts hearty and sophisticated. Whether you’re fueling up for a busy day or indulging in a lazy weekend brunch, this recipe hits all the right notes. Bonus: It doubles as the perfect filling for breakfast burritos.

Madame Lizzo used the pea-based “Just Egg,” but I like the tofu scramble a bit more, albeit it does take a few minutes longer to prepare. Tofu scramble recipes often turn out dry, but we have figured out a hack after toiling for years in the kitchen. And yes, that’s what we’re cooking in this recipe. It’s super juicy! This one is dedicated to all the protein enthusiasts out there, who also dabble in healthy fats. And my mom.

Ingredients

The 'Eggs' Sauce

½ cup sunflower seeds, soaked in boiling water for 10 minutes
1 cup water
2 tbsp olive or sunflower oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp turmeric
1 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp sun-dried tomato
1-2 tsp black salt (adjust to taste)
1 tsp mustard

The 'Eggs' Scramble

½-1 cup tofu, crumbled into a mix of small and chunky pieces
½ cup mushrooms, chopped
½ cup onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
Fresh chives or herbs, chopped

The Steak

1 Juicy Marbles filet (or desired amount)
1 tsp sumac
Salt to taste
Cooking oil of choice

Optional sides

Avocado slices
Multi-grain toast

Directions

Make the Velvety Sauce

Drain and rinse the soaked sunflower seeds. Add them to a blender with water, oil, spices, soy sauce, sun-dried tomato, mustard, and black salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Prepare the Scramble

Stove Method: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with a dash of oil. Add onions and sauté for 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Mix in the crumbled tofu and sauté for 5 minutes. Add ¼-½ cup of the sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Oven Method: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread tofu and veggies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes.
Remove, add ¼-½ cup of sauce, and bake for another 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C) for a crispy finish.

Sear the Steak

Slice the Juicy Marbles filet into strips and season with salt. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
Sear the strips for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Sprinkle sumac before serving.

Plate and Serve

Serve the steak strips alongside the tofu scramble. Add avocado slices or toast for extra indulgence.
