Ingredients
Scale
For the Steak:
- 2 ribeye steaks (or any steak of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed
- Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs (optional)
For the Eggs:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Sautéed Mushrooms:
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (cremini, shiitake, or white button)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then place the steaks in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side to achieve a medium-rare doneness. During the last minute of cooking, add butter, smashed garlic cloves, and herbs such as rosemary or thyme to the skillet. Continually baste the steaks with the melted butter and aromatics. Once cooked, remove the steaks and let them rest covered loosely with foil to retain juices.
- Sauté the Mushrooms: Using the same skillet, add olive oil and butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they soften and release their moisture. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Season with salt, pepper, and freshly chopped parsley for bright flavor. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat butter in a clean non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack in the eggs and cook them sunny-side up or flip gently for over-easy eggs, depending on your preference. Season with salt and pepper while cooking. Cook just until the whites are set but yolks remain runny for the best texture.
- Serve: Plate the rested steaks and spoon the sautéed mushrooms alongside. Top each steak with a cooked egg and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately for a delicious and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Letting the steak rest after cooking helps retain its juices and improves tenderness.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for better heat retention and a superior sear on the steak.
- Adjust cooking times based on steak thickness and preferred doneness.
- Sauté mushrooms thoroughly to enhance their umami flavor and remove excess moisture.
- Customize eggs to your liking – scrambled, poached, or fried all work well with this dish.
