Cooking method

One time I was over at some friends' place and they served... what looked like an ordinary plate of fried eggs. When I gave them a puzzled look, they said I'd be asking them for the recipe before long. I didn't believe it — until I discovered that hidden beneath the egg was the most tender steak, which, paired with a runny yolk, is truly a dish fit for kings. First, make the marinade: cut the beef into 4 pieces, pound them well, then douse with lemon juice (it makes the meat juicier and more fragrant), season with salt, and add some fresh herbs. Let it marinate for about half an hour. Sear the marinated beef (no more than 6 minutes in the skillet), then fry the eggs. They're best if you cover the pan with a lid — that way the top of the egg sets while the bottom just barely thickens, staying soft and runny. Arrange the steaks on plates, top each with an egg, and sprinkle with herbs — your steak and egg is ready. The dish is quite complete on its own, but you can serve it with a side too; mashed potatoes make an ideal partner.
