Garlic Chili Steak with Fried Eggs

Instructions

Step 1: Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Step 2: Season both sides of the steak with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 3: Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium‑high heat until hot.
Step 4: Place the steak in the skillet and sear for about 3–4 minutes per side until a deep crust forms.
Step 5: Add butter and minced garlic to the pan and spoon the melted butter over the steak for extra flavor.
Step 6: Once cooked to your preferred doneness, remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Step 7: In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed and crack the eggs into the pan.
Step 8: Cook the eggs sunny‑side‑up until the whites are set and the yolks remain runny.
Step 9: Sprinkle chili flakes over the eggs and drizzle a small amount of soy sauce if desired.
Step 10: Plate the steak with the fried eggs on the side and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat with a small amount of butter to prevent drying out. Eggs are best cooked fresh, but leftover eggs can be reheated briefly in a skillet over low heat.
