Steak and Eggs

Let's cook

1. 1

   Temper and dry

   Take the steaks out 40 minutes ahead and pat them completely dry. Cold, damp steak will not sear.

   💡

   Room temperature and bone dry. Both are required.

2. 2

   Season heavily just before cooking

   Salt and pepper generously right as the pan heats, not earlier.

3. 3

   Sear hard

   Heat the oil in a cast iron pan until smoking and sear the steaks 3 minutes per side without moving them.

4. 4

   Baste with butter

   Add the butter, garlic, and rosemary, tilt the pan, and spoon the foaming butter over the steaks for 60 seconds.

5. 5

   Rest the steak, fry the eggs

   Rest the steaks on a warm plate for 8 minutes. Meanwhile fry the eggs in the same pan, in the steak fat, until the edges are crisp and the yolks runny.

   💡

   Frying the eggs in the steak pan is the whole point. Do not wash it in between.

6. 6

   Serve

   Slice the steak against the grain, top with the eggs, and add hot sauce and cracked pepper.
