Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly on both sides of the ribeye steak.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Add the seasoned steak to the hot skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side for medium-rare. Flip the steak and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Egg Preparation

  1. 5

    Melt the Butter

    In the same skillet used for the steak (or a separate one), melt the butter over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Cook the Eggs

    Crack the eggs into the skillet and gently cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the rested steak and place it on a plate. Top it with the cooked eggs.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
