Steak & Eggs
Steak & Eggs
Ingredients
1 1"-thick New York strip steak (about 13 oz.)
2 tbsp. vegetable oil, divided
1 tsp. Kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
to taste
1 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper, plus more
for seasoning to taste
3/4 tsp. smoked paprika, plus more for seasoning
to taste
2 tbsp. butter
4 eggs
Roasted potatoes, for serving
Parsley, for serving
Dill, for serving
Directions
Step 1 Remove steak from refrigerator and let come to
room temperature, 30 minutes.
Step 2 Rub steak with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and
season all over with 1 ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and ¾ teaspoon
paprika.
Step 3 Heat a medium cast iron skillet over medium-high
heat. Add steak and cook, flipping once, until a deep golden crust begins to
form on both sides of the steak, about 5 minutes total.
Step 4 Reduce heat to medium-low and add butter to pan.
Using a kitchen towel, carefully grip the skillet handle and tilt towards you
so that the melting butter forms a pool at the bottom of the skillet. Using a
spoon, continually baste butter onto steak to form a deeper golden crust. Flip
steak and repeat, 2 to 3 minutes in total. Using a meat thermometer, check for
doneness: 120-125°F for medium rare, 130°F for medium.
Step 5 Transfer steak onto a cutting board and let rest
about 10 minutes.
Step 6 Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a nonstick
skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Crack egg into pan and cook 3
to 4 minutes, or until white is set and edges are just beginning to brown.
Remove from pan and season with salt and pepper.
Step 7Slice steak into 1" strips on a bias,
against the grain.
Step 8Serve steak with eggs and potatoes. Garnish with
herbs and season with more salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.
