Method
 

How to Make Steak and Eggs
  1. Gather Ingredients: Start by bringing all the ingredients to your counter, ensuring you have everything ready for a seamless cooking experience.
  2. Season the Steak: Generously season the ribeye with salt and pepper. Let it rest at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes to enhance the flavor and tenderness.
  3. Heat the Skillet: Preheat your heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter or olive oil until it’s hot and shimmering, perfect for searing the steak.
  4. Cook the Steak: Place the seasoned steak into the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side until it reaches your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare). Remove from the pan and let it rest to retain the juices.
  5. Prepare the Eggs: In the same skillet, crack the eggs. You can choose to cook them sunny-side up or scramble them to your preference. Don’t forget to season again for extra flavor!
  6. Serve and Garnish: Plate the steak, placing the eggs on top. If you like, sprinkle with fresh herbs for a burst of color and additional flavor.

Notes

For the best results, let the steak rest at room temperature after seasoning. Avoid overcrowding the skillet for a nice sear. Cover the skillet for sunny-side up eggs to cook the top without flipping. Always let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to lock in the juices.
