Step 1
Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season both sides with the 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the 1 tsp olive oil in a skillet over high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add the steak and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until browned and cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Reduce heat to medium and add the 1 tbsp butter to the skillet. Crack the 1 egg into the pan and fry until the white is set and the edges are crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Place the fried egg on top of the steak and serve immediately, spooning any pan butter over the egg if desired.
