Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 beef steaks 180–225 g each
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or cilantro
  • Chili flakes or hot sauce optional

Method
 

Prepare the steak: Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
    Heat the skillet: Place a heavy skillet over medium-high to high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to become hot.
      Sear the steak: Place the steaks in the hot skillet. Cook without moving them for several minutes until a deep golden-brown crust develops. Flip and cook the other side.
        Add garlic and butter: Reduce the heat slightly. Add the butter and crushed garlic. Spoon the melted garlic butter over the steaks for extra flavor.
          Check doneness: Cook the steak until it reaches your preferred doneness. For food safety, use a food thermometer and follow current recommended internal temperatures.
            Rest the steak: Transfer the cooked steaks to a clean plate and let them rest for at least 3 minutes before slicing.
              Prepare the avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh. Toss gently with lemon or lime juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
                Cook the eggs: Lower the skillet heat and add the eggs. Cook them sunny-side-up, over-easy, or to your preferred consistency.
                  Slice the steak: Cut the rested steak against the grain into thin slices.
                    Assemble and serve: Arrange the sliced steak, avocado, and eggs on two plates. Finish with fresh parsley or cilantro and optional chili flakes or hot sauce. Serve immediately.

                      Notes

                      • Use a hot skillet for a good steak crust.
                      • Let the steak rest before slicing.
                      • Prepare the avocado just before serving.
                      • Cook the eggs to your preferred doneness.
                      • Add chili flakes or hot sauce for extra flavor.
                        For a juicy steak, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This keeps the meat tender and flavorful.
