Steak and Eggs with Blistered Cherry Tomatoes
Report
This Steak and Eggs with Blistered Cherry Tomatoes is the perfect 'special occasion' breakfast. This is, without doubt, the Loon's favorite morning dish. Butter-basting the steaks is off-the-charts good. Thick strip or ribeye steaks are ideal.

Ingredients
- 2 steaks 1 to 1½-inches thick
- black pepper freshly ground
- kosher salt for brining and then seasoning
- 1 cup grape tomatoes or cherry, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon rosemary fresh, chopped + 4 sprigs
- 1 teaspoon chives fresh, chopped, plus extra for garnish
- canola oil or vegetable, ¼ cup for each braising
- 4 cloves garlic
- 7 tablespoon unsalted butter divided
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and then liberally sprinkle salt all over them. Place on a baking sheet and let rest for 1 hour, or overnight in the refrigerator on a plate loosely covered with a paper towel.
- Gently rinse the steaks with running water, helping to remove all the salt. Use paper towels to completely dry off the steaks. Season the steaks with a couple of pinches of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Turn your broiler on HIGH.
- Toss the roughly chopped tomatoes with the extra-virgin olive oil, rosemary, chives, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Place on a baking sheet lined with foil and place 6 inches under the broiler. Roast for 1 to 2 minutes, and then stir the tomatoes around with a wooden spoon. Roast for another couple minutes, until soft and starting to char. Remove and loosely tent with a piece of foil. Keep your eyes on them in the oven, don't let them completely burn!
- Heat ¼ cup of the canola oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering and just starting to smoke.
- Add one steak, and sear, turning frequently with a spatula and tongs, until browned and crust has started to form on the outside of the steak, about 3 to 4 minutes Add the rosemary sprigs and garlic cloves, and butter.
- With oven mitt on, carefully tilt the skillet to one side and use a large spoon to spoon the butter/oil all over the steak, flipping and continuing to spoon. Repeat this until the internal temperature is 125°F for medium-rare and 135°½F for medium. Set aside, tent with foil. Discard the oil/butter and herbs, and repeat this process with the 2nd steak.
- In a separate, non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add the eggs. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes for sunny-side-up. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Place the cooked steaks on plates, and top with roasted tomatoes and eggs. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Thick steaks work best for butter-braising. We love going with New York strip steaks or ribeye. 1-inch to 1½-inches in thickness is ideal.
- The cooked steaks and roasted tomatoes can be kept warm in a 250 F oven.
- The tomatoes can be made up to several hours in advance and he-heated in the oven or served room temperature. They are delicious even when they're not warm!
- Cook the steaks to your preferred doneness. 125°F for medium-rare (our favorite), or 135°F for medium.
