cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: no cheese

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor without dairy.

Heat the skillet over high heat until hot, testing with water droplets.

Add cold olive oil to the hot skillet to prevent sticking.

Season the steak with salt and black pepper, then add to the skillet, pressing down with a spatula.

Cook the steak until it reaches an internal temperature of about 47-48°C for medium-rare, then let it rest on the serving plate.

Crack the egg into the skillet, ensuring the oil is shimmering, and cook until the egg whites are crispy.

Remove the egg and place it on top of the rested steak.

Drain excess fat from the skillet, leaving a thin layer to mop up flavors.

Add garlic and sweet peppers to the skillet to deglaze and release moisture.

Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, then deglaze the pan with dry cherry or white wine.

Add olive brine to the pan for brightness, then turn off the stove.

Slice coriander leaves and garnish the dish before serving.
