Ingredients
- 1 piece (about 10 oz) Ribeye steak
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking, allowing it to come to room temperature. This ensures even cooking.
Step 2
Season both sides of the steak generously with salt and black pepper. Gently press the seasoning into the meat.
Step 3
Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the steak to the pan. Cook the steak for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for precision: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
Step 5
During the last minute of cooking, add butter to the pan and spoon the melted butter over the steak to baste it. This adds extra flavor and moisture.
Step 6
Remove the steak from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest for about 5 minutes; this allows juices to redistribute, resulting in a moist steak.
Step 7
While the steak is resting, in a separate non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 8
Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them sunny-side-up style until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. For less runny yolks, cover the skillet with a lid for a minute.
Step 9
Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin slices.
Step 10
Serve the steak slices on a plate with the eggs on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Step 11
Enjoy your high-protein meal!
