Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb Ribeye Steak (trimmed, about 1‑inch thick)
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce (regular or low‑sodium)
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil (toasted, for flavor)
  • 2 tbsp Bourbon (good quality, for marinade)
  • 1 tsp Prime Seasoning (Spiceology) (all‑purpose seasoning blend)
  • 1 tsp Brown Sugar (packed)
  • 1 tbsp Black Garlic Sauce (store‑bought or homemade)
  • 1 tsp Sriracha (adjust to heat preference)
  • 1/4 cup Neutral Oil (vegetable or canola) (for chili oil)
  • 1 tbsp Szechuan Chili Flakes (to taste, for chili oil)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp Ginger (minced fresh)
  • 2 large Eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp Sesame Seeds (toasted)
  • 2 Scallions (thinly sliced, green and white parts)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, bourbon, Prime seasoning, brown sugar, black garlic sauce, and sriracha until the sugar dissolves.

    Time: PT10M

  2. Marinate the Ribeye

    Place the ribeye in a zip‑top bag, pour the marinade over it, seal, and massage gently to coat. Refrigerate overnight (at least 12 hours), turning the bag once halfway through.

    Time: PT12H

  3. Prep Aromatics for Chili Oil

    Mince the garlic and ginger; set aside. Slice the scallions thinly, separating white and green parts.

    Time: PT5M

  4. Make Szechuan Chili Oil

    Heat the neutral oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sauté 30 seconds until fragrant, then stir in the Szechuan chili flakes. Cook 1‑2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the oil turns a deep red and aromatic. Remove from heat and let steep while you grill the steak.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: Medium heat

  5. Grill the Steak

    Preheat the grill or cast‑iron skillet to medium‑high. Remove steak from the bag, pat dry, and place on the hot surface. Grill 4‑5 minutes per side, or until an internal temperature of 120°F (49°C) for medium‑rare. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

    Time: PT8M

    Temperature: Medium‑high heat

  6. Rest the Steak

    Transfer the steak to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute.

    Time: PT5M

  7. Fry the Eggs

    Add 1‑2 tbsp of the freshly made chili oil to a clean skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and fry sunny‑side‑up, cooking until the whites set but the yolks remain runny, about 3 minutes.

    Time: PT3M

    Temperature: Medium heat

  8. Assemble and Serve

    Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain. Arrange the slices in the skillet with the fried eggs on top. Drizzle additional chili oil over everything, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds, and garnish with the green scallion tops.

    Time: PT2M

cultural
Q

What are the traditional regional variations of chili‑oil‑based egg dishes in Chinese cuisine?

A

In Sichuan cuisine, eggs are often poached or stir‑fried with chili oil, garlic, and Sichuan peppercorns, creating a spicy, fragrant topping for rice or noodles. In Shanghai, a lighter chili‑oil drizzle is used over steamed eggs, while in Taiwan, spicy egg pancakes incorporate similar flavors.

cultural

cultural
Q

A

This hearty, flavorful plate is popular for weekend brunches, celebratory breakfasts, or as a special dinner after a night out. Its bold flavors also make it a favorite for game‑day gatherings and food‑ie dinner parties.

cultural
Q

What authentic traditional ingredients are essential for authentic Szechuan chili oil in this recipe?

A

cultural
Q

What are the most common mistakes to avoid when making Steak and Chili Oil Eggs?

A

Common errors include over‑marinating the steak (which can make it mushy), burning the garlic in the chili oil, cooking the steak beyond 120°F for a medium‑rare finish, and over‑cooking the eggs so the yolks harden. Follow the temperature guidelines and watch the aromatics closely.

technical
Q

Why does this Steak and Chili Oil Eggs recipe use a bourbon‑soy marinade instead of a simple salt‑pepper rub?

A

The bourbon adds a subtle sweetness and depth that balances the heat of the chili oil, while soy sauce provides umami and salt. This combination creates a layered flavor profile that a plain rub cannot achieve, especially when paired with the spicy oil.

technical
Q

Can I make the chili oil ahead of time and how should I store it?

A

Yes, the chili oil can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance. Store it in a clean, airtight jar in the refrigerator; bring it to room temperature before using. The oil may solidify slightly when cold, so gently warm it before drizzling.

technical
Q

What texture and appearance should I look for when making the Szechuan chili oil?

A

The oil should turn a deep, glossy red and emit a fragrant aroma of garlic and ginger without any dark brown specks. If the aromatics turn brown, the oil is over‑cooked and may taste bitter.

technical
Q

How do I know when the steak is done cooking for this recipe?

A

Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the steak; it should read 120°F (49°C) for a perfect medium‑rare. The steak will feel firm but still have a slight give when pressed.
