Prepare the steaks: Pat the beef steaks completely dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper. This step is crucial for a good sear.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 2
Sear the steaks: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet (cast iron is ideal) over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Carefully place the seasoned steaks in the hot skillet. Sear for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust time to your desired doneness. For medium, cook for 5-6 minutes per side. For well-done, cook for 7-8 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for at least 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender steak.
⏱️ 8 minutes - 3
Fry the eggs: While the steaks are resting, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter or oil to the same skillet (or a clean one) over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes. You can spoon some hot butter over the whites to help them cook faster. Season the eggs lightly with salt and pepper.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 4
Assemble the dish: Spoon a generous dollop of pâté onto each serving plate, allowing it to soften slightly from the residual heat of the plate or by placing it near the hot steak. Place a rested steak next to the pâté. Carefully slide a fried egg over the steak or beside it. Arrange a small bunch of fresh watercress on the side for garnish and a peppery contrast.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 5
Serve immediately: Present the Bò Bít Tết with a side of hot, crispy fries and a small dish of soy sauce for dipping the steak. Enjoy the rich, savory, and fresh flavors.
