Grilled Tuscan Steak with Fried Egg and Goat Cheese

This is one of my all time favorite recipes.  Every. single. person. I've served it to has loved it and it is quick, easy and highly impressive.  It would be great for father's day if your man likes a big 'ole hunk of meat thrown on the grill!

Grilled Tuscan Steak with Fried Egg and Goat Cheese (adapted from foodnetwork.com)

4 (8 oz.) ribeye steaks
Salt and pepper
2 T. herbes de Provence (you can also use Italian seasoning)
2 T. + 2 t. extra virgin olive oil, divided
4 large eggs
2 oz. goat cheese, crumbled
2 T. fresh parsley, chopped

Preheat a grill pan, gas or charcoal grill over medium high heat.  Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper.  Sprinkle both sides of each steak with the herbes de Provence.  Drizzle both sides of each steak with 2 T. olive oil.  Grill for about 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium rare.  Remove the steaks from the grill and allow to rest.

While the steaks rest heat the remaining 2 t. olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Crack the eggs directly into the pan and season with salt and pepper.  Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (about 2 to 3 minutes.)  Be careful not to crack the yolks!

To serve place the steaks on 4 dinner plates and carefully top with the fried egg.  Sprinkle with the crumbled goat cheese and parsley and serve!

I like to serve this with a simple salad of mixed greens or arugula on the side with my favorite lemon dressing.  Let me tell you how to make it:

Lemon Vinaigrette (Shelly Redmond)

2 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. black pepper

Place all ingredients in a container with a tight fitting lid and shake to combine.  This makes enough dressing (1/4 c.) for 10 oz. greens.  Total recipe is 249 calories according to my calculator on loseit.com
