Ingredients

For the Steak and Eggs:

• 1 (6-ounce) bone-in rib-eye or sirloin steak
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed
• 2 large free range eggs

For the optional Chimichurri steak topper:

• ¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• ¼ cup chopped fresh oregano
• 4 sprigs fresh mint
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• Juice of ½ lime
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Pinch of red pepper flakes

Directions

This straight forward recipe serves two. For the stricter carnivore version, serve without the chimichurri garnish. Prep time: 10 minutes, cook time: 15 minutes, total time: 25 minutes

1. For the chimichurri: Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl and stir to fully incorporate. Set aside until after the proteins are cooked.
2. For the steak and eggs: Season the steak with salt and pepper.
3. In a large cast-iron skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. 
4. Place the steak on one side of the skillet, leaving room for the eggs. 
5. Cook until the steak has a dark brown sear, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. 
6. If the pan gets dry, add another tablespoon of butter. Reduce the heat to low and add the eggs. 
7. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. 
8. When the egg whites start to set, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.
9. Serve with or without the chimichurri sauce and enjoy.
