Method
 

Cooking Method — Step-by-Step (like we’re cooking together)
  1. Let’s walk through it slowly — calm hands… hot pan… good mood.
Step 1 — Bring Steak to Room Temperature
  1. Take steak out of the fridge.
  2. Let it rest for 20–30 minutes.
  3. Trust me — cold steak + hot pan = uneven cooking.
  4. Pat it dry with a paper towel.
  5. Season generously:
  6. salt
  7. pepper
  8. No fancy marinades — just confidence.
Step 2 — Heat the Pan
  1. Place the skillet on medium-high heat.
  2. Add olive oil.
  3. Wait until it shimmers… like tiny heat waves.
  4. That’s your sign.
Step 3 — Sear the Steak
  1. Lay steak gently in the pan — don’t poke it — don’t move it.
  2. Let it sear.
  3. You’ll hear that beautiful sizzling sound.
  4. Cook time (approx):
  5. Rare — 2 min per side
  6. Medium-rare — 3–3.5 min per side
  7. Medium — 4 min per side
  8. Add butter + garlic + herbs at the last minute.
  9. Tilt pan… spoon butter over steak.
  10. Feels fancy — sounds fancy — but honestly… it’s just delicious.
Step 4 — Rest the Steak
  1. Remove steak.
  2. Place on plate.
  3. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
  4. This step matters — juices need time to relax.
  5. I know… waiting is painful.
  6. But trust me — worth it.
Step 5 — Cook the Eggs
  1. Same pan (flavor bonus).
  2. Add a drop of butter.
  3. Crack eggs gently.
  4. Cook however you like:
  5. sunny-side up (classic diner style)
  6. over-easy
  7. fried with crispy edges
  8. scrambled soft and creamy
  9. Tiny sprinkle of salt + pepper.
  10. When yolk shines back at you…
  11. You know it’s good.
Step 6 — Slice & Serve
  1. Slice steak across the grain.
  2. Plate:
  3. steak
  4. eggs beside it
  5. maybe potatoes… or toast… or nothing extra at all
  6. Pause.
  7. Breathe.
  8. Smile a little.
