Preheat the electric griddle to 400°F.
Season steaks generously with salt and pepper. Brush griddle with 1 tablespoon of oil and place steaks on griddle. Cook
steaks for about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness. Remove steaks from griddle and set aside to rest.
While steaks are cooking, season tomatoes with salt and pepper and place on griddle around steaks. Cook tomatoes for
about 6 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, or until surfaces are caramelized. Remove from griddle and keep warm.
Brush surface of griddle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and crack eggs onto griddle surface. Place lid over eggs to cook
eggs ‘sunny side up.’ Remove eggs after about 3 minutes, or when whites have set and yolks are still runny.
Butter both sides of sourdough slices and grill for about 2 minutes per side, or until toasted.
Slice steaks across the grain. Divide steak slices, tomatoes, eggs, and sourdough toasts among 4 plates and serve.
