The cooking process explained
Making steak and eggs might sound fancy, but it’s surprisingly straightforward. Start by taking the steak out of the fridge to get it to room temperature—this helps achieve a perfect sear. While the steak rests, you’ll season it generously with salt and pepper. The magic happens in a heavy pan over high heat where you’ll sear the steak to your desired doneness. Then, cook the eggs sunny-side-up in the same pan for some delicious yolky goodness. It’s a quick process that combines techniques for both cooking the meat and eggs, and the result is pure satisfaction.
Gather these items
For this hearty meal, you’ll need:
- 1 ribeye or sirloin steak (about 250–300 g)
- 2 large eggs
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- Optional: French fries, ketchup, fresh parsley
Feel free to switch cuts of meat or go for different styles of eggs based on your preference. For instance, you could use a flank steak or even an egg substitute if you’re watching cholesterol.
