Ingredients

  • pounds steak your favorite cut (I used ribeye)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter divided (⅜ stick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 large eggs ½ carton

Instructions

  • 30 minutes before cooking, remove the steak from the refrigerator. Pat it dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

    two uncooked, seasoned steaks on a plate.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a large cast-iron or oven-safe skillet set over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil together. Add the steak to the skillet and sear for 3-5 minutes per side, until nicely browned.

  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 5-8 minutes more, until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven, transfer the steak to a cutting board, and cover it with foil. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Meanwhile, discard the liquid in the skillet, then return it to the stovetop with the heat set to medium-low. Melt the remaining butter, then carefully crack the eggs into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper.

Notes

One serving is ½ pound of steak and 2 eggs.
  • Cook the steak and eggs separately!
  • Use thin-cut steak; it'll cook faster and more evenly.
  • Let the steak rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
  • Internal Temperature Guide:
    • For rare steak: 125-130°F
    • For medium-rare steak: 130-140°F
    • For medium steak: 140-150°F
    • For medium-well steak: 150-160°F
    • For well-done steak: 160-165°F
  • Let the cooked steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing to lock in the juices.
  • Try making steak and eggs with fluffy scrambled eggs instead!
Storage: Store steak and eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
