Ecomely’s estimate, calculated from the ingredients with the ANSES Ciqual food composition table, excluding sides and seasoning added to taste.

Instructions

  1. Take the steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking, then season them with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over high heat until it lightly smokes.
  3. Sear the steaks for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer.
  4. Add the butter, crushed garlic and thyme to the pan, then baste the steaks with the foaming butter for a minute.
  5. Keep the steaks covered with foil while you cook the eggs.
  6. In the same pan, crack in the eggs and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
  7. Toast the bread slices while the eggs cook.
  8. Plate the steaks with the eggs, cherry tomatoes and toast, then serve straight away.

Variations and tips

Light version. Replace the butter with a drizzle of olive oil and use egg whites for a lighter version.
