Sounds weird right? Well its not. In fact, you may have had this before and either didnt know it's name or called it something else. It is REALLY good. Also, I suggest melting a layer of pepper jack cheese over the egg and steak before serving. The egg tends to slide around.
Horse back riding steak orginally comes from France, but it is more popular in South America and goes by a handful of other similar names there and in France.
Also, to make this, you only use flank or ribeye steaks - the best cuts for grilling or frying. And if you haven't noticed, I am NOT a professional photographer (though I think this is a good thing- I'm seting realistic expectations!), but the steak pictured is a ribeye.
To make this juicy, tender meal you need:
15-ounce ribeye steaks, ¾-inch thick
1 teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 fried eggs (also known as sunny-side up eggs)
¼ cup small diced yellow onion
2 Tablespoons chopped parsley or cilantro.
Slices of pepper jack cheese - optional.
Let steaks come to room temp before doing ANYTHING. I remove them from the fridge and set them out for an hour or so before I touch them. Then take olive oil, pepper, and salt, and season both sides of each steak. Let sit for 30 minutes.
Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over high heat. Melt the butter and stir in the oil. Cook steaks for about 3-4 minutes per side for a medium-rare to medium steak or 5-6 minutes per side for a medium-well to well done steak. Place them on a plate and let rest for ten minutes.

Cook your eggs, sunny side up. While they are cooking, toss the onion and mushrooms into the pan you fried the steaks in. Cook the onions and mushrooms until the onions are carmelized. Spoon them onto the steak. Top with fried egg and parsley or the cilantro. Personally, I use parsley.
Now, at this point you can take pepperjack cheese (or any cheese you like) and place it over the egg and steak to melt a bit. You can serve it with fries, put it all on bread for a sandwich, or even make it with rice. I used basmati rice, but I have made it with fries. Either way, this is good. It will become your favorite! My husband is a food lover and wanted two eggs on his steak, which is why you can't really see the onions or mushrooms as this is his plate. His steak is also done medium.
