Ingredients
- 12 oz frozen french fries
- 2 steaks (about 5 oz each) beef sirloin or rib-eye steaks (1 inch thick)
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- 1
Start oven fries in a 400°F oven. They'll be golden in about 15 minutes.
- 2
Pat steaks dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- 3
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until smoking, ~90 seconds. Sear steaks 90 seconds per side without moving—aim for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate.
- 4
Lower heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp butter and minced garlic to the skillet, stirring, until fragrant but not brown—30 seconds max.
- 5
Return steaks to the skillet and turn in the garlic butter to coat. Transfer to a warm plate and tent with foil.
- 6
Add remaining 2 tbsp butter to the skillet. Crack both eggs into the pan and fry until whites are set but yolks still jiggle, 3–4 minutes.
- 7
Plate steaks, slide an egg alongside, add fries. Drizzle with pan butter and top steaks with parsley. Serve hot.
