Prepare the steak: Season the thinly sliced sirloin steak with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding). Sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Cook the eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk the 4 large eggs with 1 tablespoon milk (if using), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. As the eggs begin to set, gently push the cooked portions from the edges toward the center, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cook until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist. You can either scramble them and then press into a round shape using a spatula, or cook them as individual fried eggs, shaping them with a round mold if desired.

Assemble the muffins: Place a slice of American cheese on the bottom half of each toasted English muffin. Immediately top with a portion of the cooked steak, then a cooked egg. Spread a generous amount of the avocado mixture on the top half of each English muffin. Place the top half over the egg and steak. Serve immediately.
