Gordon Ramsay Makes Steak and Eggs in Texas

Ingredients

• 1 piece Bone-In Ribeye Steak (about 1.5‑2 lb, 1‑inch thick, USDA Choice)
• 1 tsp Kosher Salt (lightly salt both sides of the steak)
• ½ tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper (season both sides)
• 1 tsp Ground Coffee (finely ground, adds earthy depth)
• 1 tsp Chili Powder (adds heat and flavor)
• 1 tsp Smoked Paprika (provides smoky aroma)
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil (high‑smoke‑point oil for searing)
• 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter (for caramelizing onions and finishing eggs)
• 1 piece Large Onion (cut into thick slices)
• 2 pieces Garlic Cloves (lightly smashed)
• 4 pieces Large Eggs (room temperature)
• 2 stalks Scallions (Green Onions) (chopped, greens only)
• 2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
• 1 piece Lime (juiced, about 2 tbsp)

Instructions

1. Season the Steak

   Pat the ribeye dry, sprinkle both sides with kosher salt and black pepper, then combine ground coffee, chili powder and smoked paprika. Press the rub firmly into the meat on both sides.

   Time: PT5M

2. Preheat the Skillet

   Place the cast‑iron skillet over high heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Heat until the oil just begins to shimmer.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: 400°F

3. Sear the Ribeye

   Lay the steak in the hot skillet away from you. Do NOT move it for about 2 minutes, then flip and sear the other side for another 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium‑high and continue cooking to your desired doneness (about 3‑4 minutes per side for medium‑rare).

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: 350‑375°F

4. Cook Onions & Garlic

   Add the thick onion slices and smashed garlic cloves to the pan around the steak. Stir occasionally and let them soften and turn golden.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 350°F

5. Add Butter and Caramelize

   Push the steak to one side, add 2 tbsp butter to the empty side, and let it melt. Toss the onions in the butter and let them caramelize for 2 minutes.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: 350°F

6. Prepare Eggs and Scallions

   While the onions finish, crack the 4 eggs into a small bowl, lightly season with salt and pepper, and stir in the chopped scallion greens.

   Time: PT2M

7. Finish the Dish in the Pan

   Quickly flip the steak one final time, then create a small well in the butter‑onion mixture and slide the seasoned eggs in. Sprinkle the remaining scallion greens, chopped cilantro, and drizzle lime juice over everything. Cook until the whites set but the yolks are still runny (about 3 minutes).

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: 350°F

8. Rest, Slice, and Plate

   Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest 2 minutes. Slice against the grain, arranging the caramelized onions in the center of the plate, then lay the steak slices on top and spoon the eggs over everything. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.

   Time: PT2M
