Pat the steak dry with paper towels. This helps to get a good sear. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet (or heavy-bottomed pan) over medium-high heat. The pan is ready when the oil starts to shimmer. This is a sign the pan is hot enough for searing.
Carefully place the steak in the hot skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan; sear one steak at a time if necessary. Sear for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steak. For a visual cue, look for a nice brown crust.

As the butter melts, tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steak with the melted butter for 1-2 minutes, this adds flavor and moisture. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a plate for 5 minutes. Resting is crucial as it allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
While the steak rests, crack the eggs into a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. In the same pan (no need to clean it), add a little more butter if needed. Once melted, pour in the eggs. Cook to your preference; for sunny-side-up cook until the whites are set but yolks are still runny; for over-easy flip the eggs gently and cook for another 30 seconds. Cooking times will vary by preference and stove strength.
Slice the steak against the grain for maximum tenderness. Serve immediately with the eggs. Feel free to sprinkle with additional salt, pepper, or herbs if desired.
