Step-by-step instructions

1. Start by seasoning the ribeye steak generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and pour in some oil.
3. Once hot, cook the ribeye for about 4-5 minutes on each side to reach a medium-rare doneness, or adjust according to your preference.
4. In a separate pan, fry the eggs to your liking, whether sunny-side up or over-easy.
5. While the eggs are cooking, slice the avocado into thin pieces.
6. Once the steak is done, let it rest for a minute, then serve it topped with the fried eggs, a drizzle of chili oil, slices of avocado, and chimichurri sauce.

Best ways to enjoy it

When it comes to serving Ribeye con Huevos Fritos, presentation matters! Arrange the steak on a warm plate, artfully place the fried eggs on top, and fan out the avocado slices beside it. A sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dash of extra chili oil can elevate the visual appeal even more. Serve it with toasted sourdough or crispy potatoes for a complete meal. A chilled glass of sparkling water or a light wine pairs beautifully to complement the dish’s richness.

Keeping leftovers fresh

If you find yourself with leftovers (rare, but it happens!), storing them properly is key. Place the steak and eggs in an airtight container, and they can last in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. When reheating, avoid the microwave if you want to maintain that perfect steak texture — instead, consider reheating in a skillet over low heat until warmed through.

Helpful cooking tips

To make your cooking experience even smoother, here are a few pro tips:

• Let the ribeye come to room temperature before cooking for more even doneness.
• Use a meat thermometer to check for your desired doneness; 130°F is perfect for medium-rare.
• If you like a bit of heat, you can infuse your oil with additional crushed chili flakes while cooking.

Creative twists

Feel free to put your own spin on this dish! Try adding a sprinkle of feta cheese for a creamy contrast or topping with pickled red onions for an extra layer of flavor. If you’re looking to cater to dietary preferences, swapping regular eggs for egg whites can lower the cholesterol, and using turkey or grass-fed beef can create a healthier option.

How long should I cook the ribeye steak for perfect doneness?

For a medium-rare ribeye, cook for about 4-5 minutes per side. Adjust the time if you prefer it more rare or well-done.
