Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foaming, about 60 seconds.
Step 2
Season steaks generously with salt and pepper. Sear 90 seconds per side without moving until deep brown. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add frozen fries and vegetables to the same skillet, season with salt and pepper, cook stirring often until vegetables are tender and fries start crisping, 6–8 minutes.
Step 4
Push vegetables to the sides. Add beef broth and remaining 2 tbsp butter, scraping up any brown bits. Return steaks to the pan.
Step 5
Make two wells in the vegetable mix and crack an egg into each. Cover and cook until whites set but yolks still jiggle, 3–4 minutes.
Step 6
Serve hot with steaks topped by fried eggs and vegetables scooped around with all the pan gravy drizzled over.
