Ingredients:
- 1 lb sirloin steak
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp heavy cream
- pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Pat the steaks completely dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat the neutral oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke. Sear steaks for 3–4 minutes per side without moving them until a mahogany-colored crust forms.
- Reduce heat to medium and add butter, smashed garlic, and rosemary. Tilt the pan and continuously spoon the foaming aromatic butter over the steaks for the final 2 minutes of cooking. Remove steaks when they reach 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
- Wipe the pan or use a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Melt butter until bubbling.
- Whisk eggs with heavy cream and salt. Pour into the pan and use a silicone spatula to gently push eggs from the edges to the center to create soft curds. Remove from heat while slightly wet.
- Allow the steak to rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain into strips and plate alongside the eggs.
