- 8 oz sirloin steak
- 1 cup andouille sausage (sliced down middle)
- ½ cup chorizo

Instructions
- Season your steak thoroughly with salt, pepper, and any other seasonings of choice.

- Add a little olive oil to a skillet and heat up on medium heat. Add andouille sausage to the skillet and brown on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove sausage from skillet.
