Ingredients

Steak

2 ribeye steaks about 8 ounces per steak
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon dried thyme or 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves, plucked from the stem
2 Tablespoon olive oil

Scrambled Eggs

8 large eggs
2 Tablespoons heavy cream
2 Tablespoons water
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter

Garnish

Fresh chopped chives or green onions optional

Instructions

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season each side with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme.
Heat a skillet, preferably a cast iron skillet, on medium-high heat until smoking hot. Add the olive oil, then the steak, and cook for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare or until desired doneness. See the steak temperature cooking guide in the post. Cover the steak with aluminum foil to stay warm while you make the eggs.
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the heavy cream, water, salt, chicken bouillon powder, and pepper.
Heat another skillet on medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Add the eggs and let them cook, stirring every 2 minutes, until soft curds form. The scrambled eggs should be done in about 5 minutes on medium heat. Don't overcook your scrambled eggs. Remember, they continue to cook once you take them off the heat.
Garnish the eggs with chives or green onions and black pepper, if desired, before serving. Slice the steak against the grain and serve.

Notes

1. You can substitute the ribeye steaks with other types of steak like flank steak, top sirloin, New York Strip, or even chuck steak.

2. Patting steaks dry with paper towels before seasoning is an important step that ensures a nice crust on the outside. Please don't skip it.

3. Allow the pan to heat up well before adding the steak. That way the steak can actually sear instead of stewing.
