1
Prep and season steak
Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with kosher salt and pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
2
Sear the steak
Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron preferred) over high heat until very hot. Add olive oil. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side until deeply caramelized and crust forms. Do not move the steak too early to ensure a good sear.
3
Baste and finish steak
Lower heat slightly. Add butter, smashed garlic, and thyme to the pan. Tilt the pan and baste the steak with the melted butter for 1-2 minutes. Check for desired doneness (rare ~125°F/52°C, medium ~135°F/57°C, well ~155°F/68°C). Remove steak and let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.
4
Cook eggs
In the same pan, add a small knob of butter. Crack in the eggs and cook until the whites are set but yolks remain runny, about 2-3 minutes for sunny-side up. For over-easy, flip gently and cook an additional 15-20 seconds. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
