Egg and Cheese

Method

Preparing the Steak

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Sprinkle the steak with salt and black pepper on both sides, ensuring an even coating.

  2. 2

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and heat until shimmering.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Place the seasoned steak in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust the time for desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

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

Cooking the Egg and Cheese

  1. 5

    Melt the Butter

    In the same skillet used for the steak (or a new one if preferred), add butter over medium heat and let it melt.

  2. 6

    Fry the Eggs

    Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 7

    Add the Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese, about 1-2 minutes.

Assembly

    Slice the Steak

    Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain.

  2. 9

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, lay the sliced steak and top it with the fried eggs and melted cheese.
