Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf of French bread or Italian baguette (day-old works great!)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • 8 ounces flank or sirloin steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Hot sauce or ketchup (optional)
  • Butter lettuce or baby spinach leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt. Mix until evenly distributed.
  2. Toast the Garlic Bread: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the French bread loaf lengthwise into two halves. Spread garlic butter generously over each cut side. Place on a baking sheet, buttered side up, and toast for 10-12 minutes until golden and crisp. Optionally broil for 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness.
  3. Prepare the Steak: Season thinly sliced steak with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear steak slices 1-2 minutes per side until browned but tender. Remove and keep warm.
  4. Cook the Eggs: Reduce skillet heat to medium-low. Crack eggs and cook sunny side up or to preferred doneness. Season with salt and pepper. Cover pan with lid for about 1 minute to set whites without flipping. Cook about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Assemble the Sandwich: Layer steak slices evenly on one half of toasted garlic bread. Top with cooked eggs and fresh greens if using. Close sandwich with other half and press gently.
  6. Serve Immediately: Cut sandwich into portions and serve warm with hot sauce or ketchup if desired.

Notes

If garlic butter hardens, stir or microwave briefly before spreading. For runny yolk, cook eggs low and slow and cover pan to set whites. Thinly slice steak against the grain and sear quickly to avoid chewiness. Use sturdy bread like baguette to hold ingredients well. Can substitute bread for gluten-free or low-carb options.
