Some nights I just don’t feel like making a production out of cooking. In other words, I get lazy. I want something yummy, but quick. I saw Giada make this on her show once and it stuck in my mind, so I thought I would give it a try. I didn’t follow her recipe exactly – I didn’t put olive oil on the steaks because I sprayed my grill pan with Pam that contains olive oil. And, I used some butter to cook the egg in, not olive oil. I used my stove top Le Crueset grill pan and the steak came out great with wonderful grill marks. Next time I might broil it in the oven, in an attempt to not smoke out the place.
I am a big fan of goat cheese and I really like it in this dish. The heat from the egg gently melts the goat cheese so it becomes creamy. And once you cut into the egg, the yolk starts to run and you have a terrific gooey creamy mess to slather on each bite of steak. The parsely adds a nice freshness to this dish. In my opinion, almost everything is better with parsley.
Traditional combination of steak with eggs is most commonly seen on menus for breakfast. But really, it works well for any meal of the day. Personally, I can’t have a steak for breakfast….brunch, possibly. For dinner it was great. This recipe serves one.
Recipe
1 rib eye steak
1 tbsp herbs de provence
1 egg
1 tsp parsley
goat cheese (about a 1/2 inch slice)
salt & pepper
Method
Place grill pan over medium high heat on the stove top. I sprayed mine with Pam, as mentioned above. Season both sides of the steak with some salt and pepper and the herbs de provence. Grill away until it is cooked to your liking. Once the steak is done, set aside on a plate to rest for about 5 minutes. At this time, put some butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and crack an egg directly into the pan. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 2-3 minutes. Place the egg directly onto the steak. Break up some small chunks of goat cheese and scatter all over the egg. Lastly, sprinkle parsley and serve.

I agree with Claire, yet again. I love to come on and see the beautiful pics as well as the yummy receipes. Although I am not the biggest egg fan I do love all the other ingredients so I will try this one night for dinner. I am sure my husband will dig right in!
