Steak & Eggs with Fresh Chimichurri Sauce
🛒 Ingredients
- 2 Top Sirloin or Ribeye steaks (room temperature) 🥩
- 4 Large eggs 🥚
- 2 tbsp Butter 🧈
- 1 tbsp Olive oil 🫒
- Salt & coarse black pepper to taste 🧂
For the Fresh Chimichurri Sauce: 🌿
- 1 cup Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced 🧄
- 1/4 cup Extra virgin olive oil 🫒
- 2 tbsp Red wine vinegar 🍷
- 1 tsp Dried oregano 🌿
- 1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes (for a little kick!) 🌶️
- Salt & pepper to taste 🧂
👩🍳 Instructions
- Make the Chimichurri: In a small bowl, whisk together the chopped parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, vinegar, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors marry. 🥣✨
- Prep the Steak: Pat your steaks completely dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. 🥩🧻
- The Perfect Sear: Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Sear the steaks for 3–4 minutes per side (for medium-rare). In the last minute, add a pat of butter to the pan to baste for extra richness. 🧈🔥
- Rest: Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5–10 minutes to keep them juicy. ⏲️🥩
- Fry the Eggs: In the same skillet (or a separate non-stick pan), melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Crack your eggs and fry until the whites are set but the yolks are still beautifully runny. 🍳✨
- Serve: Slice the steak against the grain, plate it alongside those golden eggs, and drizzle generously with that vibrant chimichurri sauce! 🍽️😋🌿
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Rest” is Non-Negotiable: Letting the steak rest ensures every bite is tender and full of flavor! 🥩🎯
- Sauce Secret: If you have time, make the chimichurri a few hours ahead. The longer it sits, the better it tastes! ⏳🌿
