Ingredients

• 3/4 lb top sirloin steaks
• 1/2 tbsp finely ground coffee
• 1 tsp light brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 3/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp coarse black pepper
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/2 tbsp neutral oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tbsp chives

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

1. Pat the steaks very dry. Mix the coffee, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper and rub it over both sides, then leave them at room temperature 15 minutes.
2. Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high until it shimmers and the first wisp of smoke appears.
3. Sear the steaks 3 to 4 minutes per side. The sugar in the rub browns fast, so keep an eye on it; pull at 130 to 135F on an instant-read for medium.
4. Add the butter in the last minute and spoon it over the steaks as they finish.
5. Rest the steaks on a board 8 minutes. This is not optional; cut early and the juice ends up on the board.
6. Fry the eggs in the same pan over medium about 4 minutes, spooning the pan fat over the tops, until the whites are fully set and the yolks are firm.
7. Slice the steak against the grain, top each portion with an egg and the chives, and spoon over any resting juices.
