Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. Season both sides of each steak with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the steaks. Cook for about 3-4 minutes each side for medium-rare, or until they reach desired doneness.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board, tented with foil, for about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet. Once melted, crack the eggs into the skillet.
Cook the eggs to your liking. For sunny-side-up, let the eggs cook for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny.
While the eggs are cooking, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in another small skillet over medium heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and sauté them for 2-3 minutes until they're slightly softened.
To serve, place each steak on a plate. Top each steak with two eggs. Garnish with sautéed cherry tomatoes and sprinkle fresh chives over the top.
Serve immediately for a delicious, low-carb meal.
