After a delicious meal at Ruth’s Chris Steak House, you could reheat your leftovers for lunch tomorrow (assuming you don’t finish everything on your plate at dinnertime), or you could repurpose them into a totally new entrée fit for starting your day. Don’t overlook the potential of steak—as well as our other Ruth’s Chris dishes—to become a great breakfast with a few tweaks. Allow us to show you how!
Just Add Eggs
As the poster child for American breakfast, an egg can turn just about any food item into a morning meal—steak included.
Steak and Eggs:
This classic breakfast pairing is self-explanatory; savor your leftover steak with a couple of eggs prepared however you like them: fried, over-easy, scrambled—the choice is yours!
Steak Eggs Benedict:
Swap the usual Canadian bacon for steak to refresh this longtime brunch favorite. The only other ingredients you need are poached eggs, an English muffin and hollandaise sauce. You can also spread leftover Ruth’s Chris creamed spinach on the English muffin for a Florentine twist.
Note: This recipe works with our Sizzling Crab Cakes, too!
Steak Omelet or Frittata:
Chop your leftover steak into bite-sized pieces, toss them into a skillet with cheese and beaten eggs, and voilà: You have breakfast! You can also add leftover Ruth’s Chris veggies such as broccoli or grilled asparagus. Fold the fillings into the center of the eggs for an omelet or mix them into the eggs for a frittata.
More Ways to Eat Breakfast Steak
Don’t be afraid to get creative when repurposing your leftover Ruth’s Chris steak!
Breakfast Burrito:
For a Mexican take on breakfast steak, cut it up, scramble two eggs with cheese, and wrap all ingredients in a warm tortilla. Popular add-ons include onions, peppers, avocado, tomato, spinach, and even hot sauce for a spicy kick.
Breakfast Casserole:
Also known as a strata, a breakfast casserole usually consists of layered cubed bread, beaten eggs, milk, cheese, and any meat and veggies of your choosing—like chunks of leftover steak. Just bake until set!
Breakfast Hash:
Dice up a potato (bonus if you have leftover Ruth’s Chris potatoes), chop up an onion, and sauté. Then add your leftover steak, cheese, and veggies such as peppers or tomatoes. For an extra-filling meal, top it off with a fried egg.
Breakfast Ideas for Other Ruth’s Chris Leftovers
If you also brought home some seafood or signature sides, they can become breakfast, too.
Shrimp and Grits:
If you enjoyed dishes like our Spicy Shrimp or Barbecued Shrimp, but have some shrimp leftover, whip up some grits to make this creamy Southern staple. Add cheese, garlic, and green onions for even more flavor.
Deluxe Waffle:
Combine leftover Ruth’s Chris pecan-crusted sweet potato casserole into waffle batter; the flavors pair wonderfully with maple syrup! Or, if savory is more your style, fry our Sizzling Crab Cakes in waffle batter for an inventive meal.
Home Fries or Hash Browns:
Complete any meal with this classic breakfast side. All you need is leftover potatoes—baked, mashed, or au gratin. Chopped potatoes will become home fries, and you can make hash browns from mashed potatoes.
