Preparing Steak and Eggs
Let’s break down the approach to cooking steak and eggs. First, you’ll want to ensure your steak is at room temperature for optimal cooking. The process is quick and efficient. Season your steak generously, heat your pan, and let the magic begin. After searing the steak to your preferred doneness, take a moment to let it rest. Then, use the same pan for your sunny-side-up eggs, allowing those runny yolks to add a creamy texture that beautifully complements the savory steak.
What you’ll need
You won’t need an elaborate list of ingredients for this dish, making it an excellent choice for weeknight dinners or leisurely weekends. Gather the following essentials:
- 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 for garnish
A tip: If you don’t have ribeye or sirloin on hand, you can substitute with any steak that you prefer or have.
