Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 2 ribeye steaks (1-inch thick; substitute with sirloin for a budget-friendly option)
- 4 large eggs (free-range recommended for richer flavor)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Step-by-Step Directions
1. Cook the Steaks
- Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust time for your preferred doneness).
- Transfer the steaks to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes (this locks in the juices).
2. Prepare the Garlic-Herb Eggs
- Reduce the skillet heat to medium. Add butter, minced garlic, and thyme. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet, spacing them apart. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes for runny yolks, or longer for firm yolks.
3. Serve and Enjoy
- Slice the rested steak against the grain, plate it, and top with the eggs. Drizzle any leftover garlic-thyme butter from the skillet over the dish.
Expert Tips for Success
- Perfect Steak Doneness: 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, 6 minutes for medium. Use a meat thermometer for precision (130°F for medium-rare).
- Customize Your Eggs: Scramble them or add cheese for a twist.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with avocado slices, roasted tomatoes, or sautéed spinach for extra nutrients.
- Add a dash of hot sauce or a spoonful of chimichurri for a flavor kick.
