Ingredients:
- 8 oz (225 g) Wagyu beef steak (ribeye or strip)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) high smoke-point oil (e.g., grapeseed or avocado oil)
- Salt (to taste)
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup (150 g) asparagus, trimmed and cut into pieces
- 1 tablespoon (14 g) unsalted butter
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: Microgreens for garnish
Instructions:
- Bring the Wagyu steak to room temperature (approx. 30 minutes before cooking). Season the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Preheat the skillet over medium-high heat until very hot (about 3 minutes). Add oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the surface.
- Place the steak in the skillet, sear without moving it for 2-3 minutes until a crust forms.
- Flip the steak using tongs, sear the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature 130-135°F or 54-57°C).
- Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a plate for 5 minutes.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add asparagus and sauté for 2-3 minutes until tender.
- Crack eggs into the skillet and cook to desired doneness (sunny-side up, over-easy, etc.).
- Slice the rested Wagyu steak against the grain. Arrange the steak on a plate with asparagus and eggs.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and microgreens, if using.
