  • Versatile sauce options to customize your dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ribeye steak
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 2 medium-sized potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

How to Make Steak with Egg and Sauce

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
  2. While the potatoes are roasting, season the ribeye steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil.
  3. Once the oil is hot, add the steak to the skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (130°F for medium-rare).
  4. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
  5. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and crack the eggs into the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes for runny yolks, or longer if you prefer a firmer yolk.
  6. To serve, place the steak on a plate, top it with a fried egg, and drizzle with barbecue sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve alongside crispy potato wedges.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Let your steak come to room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
  • Use a cast-iron skillet for a perfect sear on the steak.
  • Adjust the cooking time of the eggs based on how runny you like your yolks.
  • Experiment with different sauces, like hollandaise or chimichurri, for a twist.

Easy Variations

  • Swap the ribeye for sirloin or filet mignon for a different flavor.
  • Try using a different type of egg preparation, like poached or sunny-side up.
  • Add sautéed spinach or arugula for a fresh element.
  • Use sweet potato wedges instead of regular potatoes for a sweeter flavor.

What to Serve With It

  • A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette.
  • Grilled asparagus or green beans for a fresh side.
  • Garlic bread for soaking up any extra sauce.
  • A glass of red wine to complement the steak.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the steak gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking. The egg is best served fresh, but you can reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds if needed.
