Steak Potato and Egg Hash
This one-skillet steak potato and egg hash is the ultimate hearty breakfast or brunch. Packed with protein, crispy potatoes, and perfectly runny eggs, it's quick, customizable, and the best way to use up leftover steak. Perfect for busy mornings, weekend indulgence, or breakfast-for-dinner nights.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 8 oz cooked steak ribeye, sirloin, or leftover steak, diced
- 2 cups potatoes diced small (Yukon gold or red potatoes work best)
- 1 small onion diced
- 1 bell pepper diced (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp chili flakes optional
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Optional Toppings:
- Hot sauce
- Shredded cheese
- Avocado slices
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt
Instructions
Prep the Potatoes:
- If using raw potatoes, parboil in salted water for 5–6 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
Sauté Veggies:
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper. Sauté until soft, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Crisp the Potatoes:
- Add remaining oil and the parboiled potatoes. Spread them out and let them cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes to crisp up. Stir and repeat until golden and crispy. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
Add the Steak:
- Stir in the diced steak. Cook for 2–3 minutes until heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning. Keep warm on low heat.
Fry the Eggs:
- In a separate non-stick pan, cook eggs to your liking. I go for sunny-side up so the yolk acts like a sauce over the hash.
Assemble & Serve:
- Spoon hash onto plates, top with a fried egg, garnish with parsley, and finish with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Steak, Potato, and Egg Hash – Helpful Tips
Perfect for Breakfast or Brunch
Steak, Potato, and Egg Hash is a hearty, protein-packed meal that’s perfect for weekend brunch, lazy mornings, or even a weeknight dinner. It’s a flexible dish that can be dressed up or down depending on what you’ve got in the fridge. Use Leftover Steak
This is the ultimate way to use up leftover steak! Slice it thin and add it at the end to keep it tender. Overcooking it can make it chewy, so just heat it through. Crispy Potatoes are Key
For that diner-style crisp, use waxy potatoes (like Yukon Golds) and dice them small for faster cooking. Cook them until golden and crispy before adding anything else. Fry the Eggs Last
For the best texture, cook the eggs separately and serve them on top. Whether you like them sunny-side-up, poached, or scrambled—it’s totally your call. One-Pan Shortcut
If you’re short on time, use an oven-safe skillet to cook everything, then crack the eggs on top and finish the dish in the oven for an easy, all-in-one hash. Flavor Boosters
Add diced onions, bell peppers, or garlic to the skillet for extra depth. A pinch of smoked paprika, thyme, or even a splash of hot sauce can really bring the hash to life. Steak Doneness Tip
If cooking steak fresh, aim for medium-rare to medium for juicy bites. Let it rest before slicing to lock in the juices. Topping Ideas
• Fresh herbs like parsley or chives
• A dollop of sour cream or garlic aioli
• Crumbled feta or cheddar cheese
• A few dashes of hot sauce or chimichurri for a flavor punch Make It Your Own – Easy Variations
• Low Carb: Swap potatoes for turnips or radishes pan-fried until tender.
• Add Veggies: Stir in spinach, zucchini, or mushrooms for a nutrient boost.
• Different Protein: Try chicken, sausage, or even leftover roast beef instead of steak.
• Spicy Twist: Add chopped jalapeños or use a dash of chipotle powder in the potatoes. Meal Prep Friendly
Dice and roast the potatoes ahead of time, and store in the fridge. You can even pre-cook the steak and reheat everything quickly in the skillet when ready to serve.
