Instructions
Instructions
-
Temper the steaks. Remove steaks from refrigerator 20-30 minutes before cooking. Pat dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
-
Sear the steaks. Heat oil and half the butter in a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add steaks and cook 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Rest on a cutting board.
-
Cook the eggs. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining butter to the pan—use the steak drippings for extra flavour. Fry eggs to your preference.
-
Plate. Slice steak if desired. Serve alongside the eggs.
Make It Your Own
- Sunny side up: Classic, runny yolk for dipping
- Over easy: Flip briefly, yolk still runny
- Scrambled: Stir eggs gently with butter for creamy curds
- Basted: Spoon hot butter over the whites
