Ingredients

Instructions

Pat the steak dry and season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to desired doneness (125°F for medium rare). Transfer to a plate and let rest, tented with foil.
Lower heat to medium, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Crack eggs into the skillet and cook until whites are set and yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes for sunny side up. Season with remaining 1/4 tsp salt.
While eggs cook, mix lemon zest, minced garlic, parsley, and chives in a small bowl to make the gremolata.
Slice steak across the grain and arrange on plates. Top with eggs and sprinkle generously with herb gremolata. Serve immediately.
