Vietnamese Beef Steak with Egg

Ingredients

• 1 lb beef steak (sirloin or ribeye)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the 1 lb beef steak dry and season both sides with the 0.5 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Mince the 2 garlic cloves and mix with the 2 tbsp soy sauce in a small bowl.

3. 3

   Heat the 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a cast-iron or heavy skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the steak and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until browned and cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate and let rest.

4. 4

   Reduce heat to medium and add the 2 tbsp butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the garlic-soy mixture and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, scraping up any browned bits.

5. 5

   Return the steak to the skillet, spoon the sauce over it, and push it to one side. Crack the 2 eggs into the empty side of the skillet.

6. 6

   Cover the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until the egg whites are set but yolks are still runny. Serve immediately with the steak and eggs on a warm plate.

7. 7

   Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the fried eggs, spooning any extra sauce from the skillet over the top.
