Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 ribeye steaks (or sirloin, New York strip)
- 4 large eggs
Seasonings and Herbs:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Finishing and Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Remove steaks from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature, ensuring even cooking and optimal tenderness.
- Pat steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a perfect sear.
- Season steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides, pressing seasonings gently into the meat.
- Heat olive oil in a heavy cast-iron skillet over high heat until it starts to shimmer and smoke slightly.
- Carefully place steaks in the hot skillet, allowing them to sear undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to develop a rich, golden-brown crust.
- Flip steaks and add smashed garlic and rosemary to the pan, tilting skillet to baste meat with aromatic herb-infused oil.
- Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust time based on desired doneness and steak thickness.
- Remove steaks from skillet and let rest on a cutting board for 5-7 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt butter for eggs.
- Crack eggs directly into the pan, cooking until whites are set but yolks remain runny, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Season eggs with salt and pepper during cooking.
- Plate steaks and top with perfectly cooked eggs.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a bright, fresh finish.
- Serve immediately while both steak and eggs are hot and at their peak flavor.
Notes
- Choose high-quality, well-marbled steaks for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Let steaks rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking and juiciness.
- Season steaks generously with salt and pepper just before cooking to enhance natural meat flavors.
- Use a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan for perfect sear and consistent heat distribution.
- Cook eggs in the same pan after steak for delicious residual flavor and minimal cleanup.
- For protein-packed keto diet, serve with extra butter or add avocado on the side.
- Consider slicing steak against the grain for more tender, easier-to-chew bites.
- Experiment with different herb combinations like thyme or oregano for varied taste profiles.
