Ingredients
- 2 steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or filet, about 6–8 oz each)

Instructions
- Season steak: Bring steaks to room temperature. Pat dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and optional seasoning.
- Cook steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with oil or butter. Sear steaks 3–5 minutes per side for medium-rare (or to your desired doneness). Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
- Cook eggs: In another skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Fry or scramble eggs to your preferred style. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

- Fresh eggs cook best for frying or poaching.
