Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • A handful fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients (10 minutes): Peel and dice the potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Slice the onions and bell peppers thinly, and mince the garlic. Thinly slice the steak against the grain and pat dry.
  2. Cook the Potatoes (15 minutes): Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and a pinch of salt. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes to brown, then stir occasionally until golden and fork-tender, about 10–15 minutes total. Add a splash of water and cover if sticking.
  3. Caramelize Onions and Peppers (10 minutes): In a separate pan or after removing potatoes, melt butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-low heat. Add onions and peppers with a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally and cook slowly until soft, golden, and fragrant, about 10 minutes.
  4. Sear the Steak (5 minutes): Increase heat to medium-high. Add steak slices with a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and thyme. Sear about 2 minutes per side until just cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Combine Hash (3 minutes): Add caramelized onions and peppers to the potatoes. Fold in seared steak pieces gently. Stir and cook together on medium heat for a couple of minutes.
  6. Cook the Eggs (5 minutes): In a clean skillet, fry eggs sunny-side up or scramble softly. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  7. Plate and Garnish: Serve a generous helping of steak and eggs hash with eggs on top. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish.

Notes

Patience is key when caramelizing onions and peppers to avoid bitterness. Pat steak dry before searing for a perfect crust. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper browning. If potatoes brown too fast but remain firm, lower heat and cover to cook through. Add garlic last to prevent burning. Eggs can be scrambled into the hash or fried sunny-side up for contrast.
