Steak, cheesy eggs and fried potatoes

Step 1: Prepare the Steak

1. Bring to room temperature: Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
2. Season: Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
3. Heat the skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.
4. Sear the steaks: Add the steaks to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
5. Add butter and herbs: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, smashed garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet.
6. Baste the steaks: Once the butter melts, tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to continuously baste the steaks with the melted butter and herb mixture.
7. Rest the steaks: Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate covered with foil.

Step 2: Prepare the Fried Potatoes

1. Heat the skillet: In the same skillet used for the steaks, add the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
2. Cook the potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to turn golden brown.
3. Add onions: Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the onions are soft and the potatoes are crispy.
4. Season: Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 3: Prepare the Cheesy Eggs

1. Beat the eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Cook the eggs: In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed for a few seconds until the edges start to set.
3. Add cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs.
4. Scramble: Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, folding the cheese into the eggs. Continue to cook until the eggs are set but still creamy.
5. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh chives or parsley if desired.

Step 4: Serve

1. Slice the steak: Slice the rested steaks against the grain.
2. Plate the meal: Serve the sliced steak with cheesy eggs and fried potatoes on the side.
3. Enjoy: Enjoy this hearty and delicious meal with your loved ones!
