Steak and Eggs with Herb Butter

This classic dish combines perfectly seared steak with perfectly cooked eggs, topped with a savory herb butter that adds a touch of creativity and freshness. The rich flavors of the beef and the creamy eggs create a delightful balance, making it a satisfying meal for any time of day. This recipe respects traditional culinary principles while introducing a flavorful twist with the herb butter.

Ingredients:

• 2 ribeye steaks (about 6 oz each)
• 4 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil for cooking

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with parsley, chives, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
2. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
4. Once the oil is shimmering, add the steaks to the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.
5. While the steaks are cooking, in a separate non-stick skillet, heat a little butter over medium heat and crack the eggs into the pan. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Once the steaks are done, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
7. Serve the steaks topped with a dollop of the herb butter and the eggs on the side.
