Steak and Marinade

Toppings

Method

Preparation of Steak

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, white wine, salt, and black pepper. Place the shell steaks in the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steaks from the marinade and reserve the marinade. Sear the steaks in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest.

Making the Sauce

  1. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the reserved marinade and bring it to a simmer. Allow it to reduce for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

  2. 4

    Add Ham

    Add the sliced smoked ham to the sauce and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Frying Eggs

  1. 5

    Fry the Eggs

    In a separate non-stick skillet, add a little olive oil and heat over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes.

Plating

  1. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    Place the rested shell steak on a plate, spoon the ham and sauce mixture over the steak, and top with a fried egg. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
