Gwyneth Paltrow Cooks Vietnamese-Inspired Steak

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has garnered attention by sharing a cooking video on her Instagram, showcasing a steak dish inspired by Vietnamese cuisine. The video features her preparing a steak with fried eggs, served alongside cherry tomatoes and fresh greens. In the video posted on August 1, Paltrow is seen performing various steps, from preparing the marinade sauce for the meat to harvesting vegetables and mixing a dipping sauce, referred to as "nuoc cham" in Vietnamese. The content has garnered over 2.5 million views. Paltrow captioned the post with #boyfriendbreakfast, a phrase she began using in 2022. At the time, she shared her habit of cooking for her husband, director Brad Falchuk, every Saturday morning. For the actress, creating new menus, preparing ingredients, and cooking are ways to de-stress and show affection for loved ones. This is not the first time Paltrow has cooked Vietnamese-inspired dishes. In July 2025, a video of her making turkey sausage with lemongrass, garlic stir-fried vegetables, and fried eggs with "nuoc cham" received over 24 million views. About a decade prior, she introduced several Vietnamese-inspired recipes, mainly salads, in her cookbooks. These recipes were also shared on Goop, the lifestyle website she founded. According to NPR, Paltrow learned to cook from her late father, director Bruce Paltrow. When he was alive, they often spent time in the kitchen together, chopping vegetables or whisking eggs. "It's a very clear memory of my dad that I have every time I go into the kitchen. I can almost feel him standing behind me," she said in a 2011 interview. At 54, the actress is passionate about cooking and frequently creates instructional videos.
