A quick, filling, and indulgent breakfast skillet featuring seared ribeye steak, caramelized onions, and sunny-side up eggs, perfect for busy mornings or cozy brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces ribeye or sirloin steak, about 1-inch thick
  • 4 large eggs, preferably room temperature
  • ½ medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional)
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: sliced mushrooms or bell peppers

Instructions

  1. Take your steak out of the fridge about 20 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature. Pat it dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in your skillet. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and soft, about 8-10 minutes. Add the minced garlic in the last 2 minutes and stir gently. Transfer onions and garlic to a plate and set aside.
  3. Increase heat to medium-high and add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. Once melted and hot, place the steak in the pan. Sear for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temp ~135°F/57°C). Adjust time for your preferred doneness. Avoid moving the steak around to get a nice crust. Remove steak and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
  4. After resting, cut the steak into bite-sized strips or cubes.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. Crack the eggs gently into the skillet, spacing them apart. Cook sunny-side up until whites are set but yolks still runny, about 3-4 minutes. Cover the skillet with a lid if you want the tops cooked more evenly.
  6. Return the caramelized onions to the skillet, scatter the steak pieces around and between the eggs. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or chives on top.
  7. Serve immediately, optionally with extra black pepper or a dash of hot sauce.

Notes

Let steak rest before slicing to keep juices locked in. Cook eggs on medium-low heat and cover skillet to gently set whites while keeping yolks runny. Adjust heat if steak cooks too fast or eggs don’t set properly. Use paper towels to pat steak dry before seasoning for better sear.
