This steak boasts simple, bright flavor inspired by Tuscany: fresh rosemary and thyme, garlic, lemon, and olive oil. Between the marinade and a flavorful drizzle after cooking, it's a flavorful showstopper.

The fried egg adds something a little special, and the silky yolk gives it an extra touch of decadence.

A large 18-ounce ribeye with the bone in creates a striking visual appearance, but you can easily make this recipe with smaller ribeye cuts - even boneless. If using a smaller ribeye steak, around 10 ounces, use 2 of them for this recipe and cook an extra egg for the second one. Simply cook fully on the grill until 135 degrees for medium-rare, and skip the portion of finishing in the oven. Just as delicious!

*Chef',s Note: If using a smaller ribeye steak, around 10 ounces, use 2 of them for this recipe and cook an extra egg for the second one. Simply cook fully on the grill until 135 degrees for medium-rare, and skip the portion of finishing in the oven.

Instructions

For the marinade: The day before you plan on cooking your steak, place the rib-eye in a resealable baggie along with the olive oil, rosemary, thyme and garlic. Move the herbs and garlic around in the bag to coat the steak with all the flavors. Refrigerate overnight.
For the steak: Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the steak evenly with 1 teaspoon of the salt. Place the steak on the grill pan and sear for 5 minutes without moving the steak. Flip the steak and repeat on the other side. Remove the steak to a baking sheet and place in the oven for 10 minutes for medium doneness. Allow the steak to rest for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix together the lemon zest, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons olive oil, rosemary, thyme, 1/8 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper. Set aside.
Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and slide in the egg, being careful not to break the yolk. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and gently cook the egg until the white is just set and the yolk is still soft, about 3 minutes.
Transfer the rested steak to a serving plate. Scatter the arugula over the steak and drizzle 1 teaspoon of the herb oil. Lay the egg, sunny-side up, over the top. Drizzle with the remaining herb oil and season with a few grinds of black pepper.
