Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the steak generously on both sides with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add steak and sear for 3–4 minutes per side until desired doneness. Adjust heat to prevent burning.

  4. 4

    Transfer cooked steak to a plate and rest for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium.

    Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the same skillet. Crack eggs into the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes until whites are set and yolks are still runny, or to your preferred doneness.

  6. 6

    Slice the steak against the grain and serve alongside the eggs. Sprinkle with extra salt and pepper if desired.
