Description

A hearty and flavorful meal featuring perfectly seared strip steak served with soft, buttery eggs and a vibrant homemade chimichurri sauce.


Ingredients

    • 1 lb strip steak (New York strip)
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1/2 tsp black pepper
    • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tbsp butter
    • 4 large eggs

Chimichurri Sauce:

  • 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Prepare the chimichurri by mixing parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside to allow flavors to develop.
  2. Season the strip steak with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your preference.
  4. Add butter to the pan and baste the steak for 30 seconds. Remove steak and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  5. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and cook the eggs to your preferred style (sunny-side up is recommended).
  6. Slice the rested steak and serve alongside the eggs.
  7. Spoon chimichurri generously over the steak and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Letting the steak rest ensures maximum juiciness.
  • Add more red pepper flakes for a spicier chimichurri.
  • Great served with crusty bread, potatoes, or rice.
