Equipment

  • Cast Iron Pan

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Sirloin Steak
  • 4 Eggs
  • 2 Tomatoes
  • 4 tbsp Olive Oil extra virgin
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 sprig Thyme
  • 1 sprig Rosemary
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

  • Thickly slice the vine ripened tomatoes, at least 1 inch thick, dredge them in all-purpose flour and then into an egg wash. Coat them with Panko seasoned bread crumbs.
  • Heat up the cast iron pan to high temp, add olive oil (1 tbsp) and lay the steak into the pan. Listen for the sizzle. Once you’ve put it in. don’t move it around for at least 3 minutes, then flip it over. Reduce the heat to medium high. The steak will already have a great crust developed, and now it’s going to finish for another 3 minutes.
  • Add fresh herbs Thyme (1 sprig), Rosemary (1 sprig) and garlic (1 clove) to the pan along with more olive oil (1 tbsp) and butter (1 tbsp). While the steak is grilling, baste the steak with the herb seasoned butter.
  • Remove the steak and set aside to rest and keep warm. We cooked the steak to rare, and it’s going to continue to cook for 10 minutes out of the pan and come up to a medium rare temperature. If you like your steak more well done, that fine. Cook another minute on each side for medium.
  • Reduce the heat on the cast iron pan to medium high heat and add olive oil (1 tbs) and cook the tomatoes on one side for 2 minutes and then flip them over and cook another 2 minutes.
  • Heat a non-stick fry pan to medium, drop softened butter (2 tablespoons) and then gently add your eggs (4) into the frying pan. Reduce the heat to medium low while the eggs cook through.
  • We like our eggs yolk side up and cooked so that the yolk is still runny but the whites are cooked through. We’ll place a lid on the eggs with water (1 tsp) and let the eggs cook for 3 minutes. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
  • Slice the sirloin steak and plate alongside the eggs and fried tomatoes. Serve the steak and eggs immediately.

Notes

What Cut of Meat For Steak and Egg
The best cut of meat for steak and eggs is beef that is marbled well. Marbling is an indicator of tenderness. The marbling in meat helps keep the steak juicy and moist while cooking. Ribeye is the best choice for steak and eggs, followed by sirloin, chuck and tenderloin.
Farm Fresh Eggs
Farm fresh eggs taste better. I didn’t realize that until I was on vacation and enjoyed farm fresh eggs that had been delivered to the hotel earlier that morning. The look of the sunny side eggs was the big giveaway. The yolks presented a deeper shade of yellow that I had never seen at my breakfast table. I now take far greater care when I am sourcing eggs for my household. At the very least I am looking for organic free-range chicken eggs from a local source.
If the eggs are free-range, I know that the chickens have had a better diet than those in commercial egg laying facilities. And if the eggs are locally sourced I know they haven’t been on the shelf for months. Go with farm fresh eggs for your steak and eggs.
