Directions
-
Pre-cook Potatoes:
Heat a pot of water over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes and bring to a low boil for 5 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set aside. -
Prepare Steak:
Let the steaks come to room temperature for about 15 minutes. Season them with 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper on both sides. Heat a skillet on medium-high heat and add 2 tbsp of oil.
Sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove the steaks and let them rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before cutting them into cubes. -
Cook Veggies and Potatoes:
In the same skillet, add the remaining oil and reduce the heat to medium. Add the pre-cooked potatoes, onion, and bell peppers to the skillet. Season with garlic, paprika, red pepper flakes, and the remaining salt and pepper.
Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until the potatoes are golden and crispy. -
Add Steak:
Add the cubed steak to the skillet and stir everything together. Allow the steak to cook for a couple of minutes if needed. -
Cook the Eggs:
Reduce the heat to medium-low and create 4 wells in the hash. Crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness. -
Finish and Serve:
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Storage/Reheating
This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Alternatively, you can microwave it, but be sure to cook the eggs separately to prevent overcooking.
FAQs
Can I make this dish without eggs?
Yes, if you prefer, you can skip the eggs and serve the steak and potatoes with a side of avocado or salsa for extra richness and flavor.
Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?
Yukon Gold potatoes work wonderfully because of their creamy texture and ability to crisp up, but you can also use russet potatoes or sweet potatoes for a different twist.
Can I make this ahead of time?
While the dish is best served fresh, you can prepare the steak, potatoes, and veggies ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, simply reheat and cook the eggs fresh.
How can I make the potatoes crispier?
If you want extra crispy potatoes, try spreading them out in a single layer on the skillet, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded. You can also finish them in the oven for a few minutes to crisp up further.
Can I make this recipe with a different type of meat?
Absolutely! If you don’t have steak, you can use chicken breast, turkey, or even ground beef. Just make sure to adjust the cooking times accordingly.
How can I adjust the heat level in this dish?
If you prefer a milder version, reduce or eliminate the red pepper flakes. For a spicier version, add more red pepper flakes or some chopped jalapeños.
Can I make this hash in advance for meal prep?
Yes, this hash is great for meal prep. Just store the cooked steak, potatoes, and veggies in an airtight container and refrigerate. On the day of eating, reheat and cook fresh eggs on top.
How do I make this hash more filling?
To make this dish heartier, serve it with a side of avocado, or add a grain like quinoa or brown rice to the base of the hash for extra volume.
