Steak + Eggs
Pan-seared sirloin, fried eggs and buttered toast.
Maui's an app that plans a whole week of dinners like this one. See how it works ↓
Take the steak out of the fridge 20 min ahead. Cold steak hits a hot pan, contracts, and squeezes out juice. Room-temp steak relaxes into the heat and stays tender.

Instructions
Knife work first, then the stove. Nothing below asks you to chop while something burns.
- Take steak out of fridge 20 min ahead. Pat very dry. Season aggressively with 1 tsp kosher salt and ¾ tsp black pepper, all sides.
- Smash garlic, set out herbs.
Sear steak
Heat cast iron over high until smoking. Add olive oil. Lay steak in. Sear 3 min UNDISTURBED for a crust. Flip, cook 2-3 min more for medium-rare (130°F internal).
6 min · hands onButter baste
Drop butter, garlic, rosemary, thyme into the pan. Tilt pan and spoon the foaming butter over the steak for 60 sec. Transfer steak to a board, tent with foil, rest 8 min - non-negotiable.
9 min · hands offToast bread
In the bask-butter skillet, lay bread slices, toast 90 sec per side until golden and butter-soaked.
3 min · hands onFry eggs
Heat remaining butter in nonstick over medium. Crack in eggs. Cook 3 min for runny yolks. Season with salt and pepper.
3 min · hands onSlice and plate
Slice the steak against the grain. Divide across 4 plates with a fried egg and slice of toast each. Pour any board juices over the steak.
2 min · hands onMake it yours
Every swap here is one Maui already knows how to make, including what it does to the timing.
Same cook - ribeye is just richer (and pricier).
Same cook as sirloin.
Grate and squeeze a russet potato, crisp in skillet during steak rest. Adds about 10 minutes.
Brown 8 oz cremini in the steak pan during rest. Adds about 5 minutes.
What keeps
Fresh-only. Steak overcooks on reheat.
Eggs go rubbery. Cold sliced leftover steak IS great over greens for a workout-lunch - don't fight the temperature change, embrace it.
