Ingredients
– 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (8-10 ounces each)
– 4 large eggs
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
– Fresh herbs (e.g., thyme or rosemary), optional for garnish
– Cooking spray (optional)
Instructions
Creating the perfect Steak and Eggs involves a few straightforward steps. Follow the procedure below to ensure success:
1. Bring Steaks to Room Temperature: Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit for about 15 minutes before cooking. This helps achieve even cooking.
2. Season the Steak: Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Steak: Add the steaks to the heated pan. For medium-rare, cook for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
5. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches around 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, or adjust to your preference.
6. Rest the Steak: Once cooked, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
7. Cook the Eggs: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil or butter if necessary. Reduce heat to medium-low.
8. Crack the Eggs: Gently crack the eggs into the pan. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until whites are set but yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes for sunny-side-up eggs.
9. Serve the Dish: Slice the rested steaks against the grain and plate them alongside the eggs.
10. Garnish: Add fresh herbs if desired for an extra touch.
By meticulously following these steps, you’ll be rewarded with a delicious Steak and Eggs breakfast that is sure to become a staple in your kitchen!
