Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb flank or skirt steak
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 Roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise
- 4 eggs
- Chimichurri
Instructions:
- Heat 1⁄2 tablespoon of the olive oil in a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over high heat.
- Season the steak all over with salt and pepper.
- Cook, turning the steak every minute or so, for 7 to 8 minutes total, until fully browned on the outside and firm but fully yielding to the touch.
- Remove to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- While the steak rests, place the tomatoes cut-side down in the same pan and cook for about 2 minutes until the bottoms are lightly blackened.
- Heat the remaining 1⁄2 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick pan.
- Working in batches, crack the eggs into the pan and fry until sunny-side up, the whites just set, and the yolks still loose. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Slice the steak against the natural grain of the meat.
- Divide among 4 warm plates with the eggs and tomatoes. Spoon chimichurri liberally over the steak and eggs.
