Iron and choline
She needs 27 mg of iron a day in pregnancy, and red meat is one of the best sources. Eggs bring choline, for the baby's brain and spinal cord.

Ingredients
Method
Season the steaks on both sides with 3 teaspoons of the steak seasoning. Keep the last teaspoon for the eggs.
Heat a big cast-iron or nonstick skillet on medium-high. Melt 1 tablespoon of ghee, lay in the steaks and sear 3 to 4 minutes a side for medium-rare.
Our extra: for the last minute, drop the butter, smashed garlic and rosemary into the pan. Tilt the pan and keep spooning the foaming butter over the steaks.
Move the steaks to a plate and cover them loosely with foil to rest.
Scrape out any burnt bits so the eggs don't stick, and turn the heat down to medium.
Add the rest of the ghee, crack in the eggs and sprinkle them with the last teaspoon of seasoning. 2 to 3 minutes for sunny side up. Small pan? Do them in batches.
Slice the steak into thin strips, about 1/4 inch, across the grain. Parsley on top. Toast or potatoes on the side if you want them.
The pregnancy version
Eggs cooked firm, no runny yolk. Steak at least medium: 145°F (63°C), then a 3-minute rest.
