Diner-Style Steak and Eggs

Ingredients

• 2 beef minute steaks or sirloin steaks, about 170g each, 1.5cm thick
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 4 large eggs
• 2 cloves garlic, smashed
• 1 tsp chopped parsley, for serving
• Hot sauce, to serve

Before you cook

• Take the steaks out of the fridge 20 minutes before cooking so they come to room temperature.
• Pat the steaks dry with paper towel.
• Season both sides of each steak with the salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Steps

1. Heat a heavy skillet over high heat for 2 minutes until it is smoking hot.
2. Add the oil to the skillet.
3. Lay the steaks in the pan without crowding them.
4. Sear for 2 minutes without moving them.
5. Flip the steaks and add 1 tablespoon of the butter and the smashed garlic to the pan.
6. Cook for another 2 minutes for medium, tilting the pan to spoon the melted butter over the steaks a few times.
7. Move the steaks to a plate and rest them loosely covered with foil.
8. Wipe the pan, lower the heat to medium, and add the remaining butter.
9. Crack the eggs into the pan, spacing them apart.
10. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, spooning a little hot butter over the yolks if you like them glazed.
11. Slice each steak against the grain into thick strips.
12. Plate the sliced steak with two eggs per person.
13. Scatter the parsley over the top and serve with hot sauce on the side.
