Step 1: Preparing the Ingredients

Before you start cooking, gather all necessary ingredients and tools.

Ingredients:

• Ribeye steak (quality cut)
• Eggs (4-6 depending on servings)
• Salt and pepper
• Olive oil or butter
• Fresh herbs (optional, e.g., chives or parsley)
• Pantalones Tequila (for marinating or serving)

Tools:

• Cast iron skillet or high-quality frying pan
• Tongs
• Mixing bowl
• Whisk or fork

Practical Tips:

• Choose a ribeye steak with good marbling for better flavor.
• Let the steak come to room temperature before cooking for even cooking.

Step 2: Cooking the Ribeye Steak

Cooking the steak correctly is essential for a delicious meal.

Instructions:

1. Season the Steak:

   • Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper.

2. Heat the Skillet:

   • Place your skillet on high heat and add a splash of olive oil or a pat of butter.

3. Sear the Steak:

   • Once the oil is hot and shimmering, place the steak in the skillet.
   • Sear for about 3-4 minutes on one side without moving it to develop a nice crust.

4. Flip and Finish Cooking:

   • Turn the steak over using tongs and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time based on your desired doneness.

5. Rest the Steak:

   • Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Step 3: Making the Scrambled Eggs

Now it’s time to prepare the eggs.

Instructions:

1. Whisk the Eggs:

   • In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

2. Heat the Pan:

   • In the same skillet used for the steak (add more butter if needed), reduce the heat to medium-low.

3. Cook the Eggs:

   • Pour the whisked eggs into the pan.
   • Gently stir with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan as the eggs begin to set.

4. Finish Cooking:

   • Remove from heat while the eggs are still slightly runny (they will continue to cook off the heat).

5. Add Fresh Herbs (optional):

   • Stir in chopped fresh herbs for added flavor.

Step 4: Plating the Dish

Presentation is key for a restaurant-quality meal.

Instructions:

1. Slice the Steak:

   • Cut the rested ribeye against the grain into thick slices.

2. Serve:

   • Place a generous portion of scrambled eggs on a plate and arrange the sliced steak beside them.

3. Garnish:

   • Optionally, drizzle with a little olive oil or add fresh herbs on top for garnish.

4. Pair with Pantalones Tequila:

   • Serve with a shot of Pantalones Tequila for a delightful pairing.
