A perfectly seared steak basted in rich butter, topped with creamy fried eggs for that extra indulgence and flavor boost.
Ingredients
- 1 lb steak (ribeye or sirloin)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 large eggs
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
- Take the steak out of the fridge 20 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan and place the steak in the skillet.
- Cook the steak for about 4 minutes on one side, then flip it.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and tilt the pan, spooning the melted butter over the steak continuously for another 4 minutes for medium-rare.
- Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and crack the eggs in. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the eggs sunny side up or to your preference until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve the butter-basted steak topped with the fried eggs for a rich, indulgent meal.
