# Ingredients:

→ Steak

01 - 1 New York strip steak
02 - 3 garlic cloves
03 - 2 tablespoons butter
04 - Salt and pepper to taste
05 - 1 tablespoon neutral oil

→ Sides and Toppings

06 - 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
07 - 2 garlic cloves minced
08 - 2 tablespoons butter
09 - 1 bunch asparagus trimmed
10 - 3 garlic cloves thinly sliced
11 - 4 eggs
12 - Neutral oil for frying
13 - 1 tablespoon chili oil

# Steps:

01 - Pat the steak dry and season evenly with salt and pepper on both sides.
02 - Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon neutral oil, coating the pan. Sear the steak for approximately 4 minutes per side until a deep golden-brown crust forms.
03 - Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tablespoons butter and 3 whole garlic cloves to the pan. Continuously spoon the melted butter over the steak to baste while cooking to desired doneness, approximately 2-4 minutes more. Remove steak and let rest for 10 minutes.
04 - Finely chop parsley to yield about 2 packed tablespoons. In a pan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter and gently cook 2 minced garlic cloves until lightly browned. Remove from heat and pour garlic butter over parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
05 - Heat neutral oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced garlic and fry until golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Cool to crispiness before use.
06 - Heat neutral oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add trimmed asparagus and cook for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm until plating.
07 - Heat neutral or olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs carefully into pan and cook until whites are set but yolks remain runny (about 3 minutes) for sunny side up. Season with salt and pepper.
08 - Slice rested steak. Plate slices alongside fried eggs and sautéed asparagus. Garnish with garlic crisps, drizzle 1 tablespoon chili oil over the plate, and spoon parsley garlic topping over steak and eggs. Serve immediately.

# Tips:

01 - Use a cast iron skillet for best searing results and rest the steak for juices to redistribute.
02 - Adjust egg doneness and steak cooking time based on personal preference.
