Steak and Eggs

Ingredients

• 1½ lb sirloin steak
• 8 large eggs
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional)

Steps

1. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add steaks and sear for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove steaks from pan and let rest on a cutting board, tented with foil.
3. While steaks rest, reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the same skillet. Crack eggs directly into the pan, being careful not to break the yolks.
4. Cook eggs for 2-3 minutes for runny yolks, or longer for firmer yolks, until whites are set. Season eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
5. Slice the rested steak against the grain. Serve immediately with the fried eggs. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
