Ingredients
- 2 steaks (your choice)
- 4 eggs
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
- Fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Remove steaks from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to reach room temperature, ensuring even cooking.
- Pat steaks dry with paper towels and generously season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
- Once the skillet is hot, carefully place steaks in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on steak thickness and desired doneness.
- Remove steaks from skillet and let them rest on a cutting board, covered loosely with aluminum foil.
- In the same skillet, add diced onions and bell peppers, sautéing until they become soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-6 minutes.
- Push vegetables to one side of the skillet and crack eggs directly into the open space, cooking until whites are set and yolks are at your preferred consistency.
- Slice rested steaks against the grain into thin strips.
- Arrange sliced steak over the sautéed vegetables and eggs in the skillet.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like chopped parsley or chives for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately directly from the skillet for a rustic, restaurant-style presentation.
Tips
- • Temperature is key: Always let your steak come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even heat distribution. • Pat your steak dry before seasoning to achieve that perfect golden-brown crust. • Use a cast-iron skillet for the best heat retention and beautiful sear. • Don't overcrowd the pan - give each ingredient space to cook properly. • Let your steak rest after cooking to retain those delicious juices. • Experiment with different herb combinations for garnish to personalize your dish. • For a perfect medium-rare, use a meat thermometer (aim for 135°F internal temperature). • Fresh, high-quality ingredients make all the difference in this simple yet elegant dish.
