Best Ever Steak and Eggs Recipe

Best Ever Steak and Eggs

This classic combination of steak and eggs is hearty, flavorful, and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner. Here’s a simple and delicious recipe to elevate your steak and eggs game.

Ingredients:

• 2 ribeye steaks (about 1-inch thick)
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Garlic powder (optional)
• Fresh herbs (like parsley or chives), for garnish
• Hot sauce (optional), for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Steaks:

• Remove the steaks from the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps them cook more evenly.
• Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder (if using).

2. Cook the Steaks:

• In a skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
• Once the oil is hot and shimmering, place the steaks in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, depending on your desired doneness (for medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F).
• Flip the steaks, add 1 tablespoon of butter, and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes. Use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the steaks as they cook for extra flavor.
• Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

3. Cook the Eggs:

• In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
• Crack the eggs directly into the skillet. Cook to your desired doneness: for sunny-side-up eggs, cook until the whites are set; for over-easy, flip the eggs gently after a few minutes and cook for an additional minute.
• Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.

4. Serve:

• Slice the rested steaks against the grain and serve alongside the fried eggs.
• Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with hot sauce on the side if desired.

Tips:

• Choosing the right steak: Ribeye is a great choice for its marbling and flavor, but you can also use sirloin, filet mignon, or strip steak.
• Resting the steak: Letting the steak rest before slicing helps retain the juices, ensuring a tender and juicy bite.
• Variations: Add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or avocado on the side for added flavor and nutrition.
