Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Start fries in the oven per package directions (usually 400°F, 12-15 min).

  2. Step 2

    Pat beef steaks dry. Season aggressively with salt and pepper on both sides.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Sear steaks 90 seconds per side without moving. Edges should look caramelized and the center stays rare to medium-rare.

  5. Step 5

    Push steaks to the side of the skillet. Crack eggs into the empty space and fry until whites set but yolks jiggle, about 3 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Toss salad greens with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Plate steak, egg, fries, and salad. Drizzle chili sauce over everything.

Tools you’ll need

  • large skillet (12-inch cast iron or stainless steel)
  • baking sheet
  • knife and cutting board
  • paper towels
  • bowl for salad
