Eggs Florentine differs from the more famous Eggs Benedict by using a layer of spinach instead of ham. A halved and toasted English muffin is topped with poached spinach, topped with a poached egg, and drizzled with tarragon-infused hollandaise sauce. Serve with pan-seared sirloin steak. Just a couple of minutes of frying on each side is enough to enjoy all the flavors and juiciness of a medium-rare steak. Slice it thinly against the grain, and the meat will literally melt in your mouth.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

In a large, wide saucepan, add 3 inches of water and bring to a boil. Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Season the steak with salt and black pepper, add it to the skillet, and cook until golden brown, 2-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let the meat rest.
Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium; add the spinach and 2 tablespoons water and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the English muffin halves among plates and top with the spinach.

Meanwhile, combine the egg yolk, butter, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of water in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the butter melts and the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Add the tarragon and season with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
Add vinegar to the boiling water, then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl or ramekin and carefully lower it into the water; repeat with the remaining eggs. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon, pat dry with a kitchen towel, and place them on top of the English muffins.
Slice the steak across the grain and arrange on plates. Pour the sauce over the eggs.
