Directions

  1. Cook the Potatoes:
    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced Yukon Gold potatoes and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the skillet and set them aside.
  2. Prepare the Steak:
    While the potatoes are cooking, season the steak with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Heat another 2 tablespoons of oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for about 4-6 minutes per side (depending on your preferred doneness), until the steak reaches your desired level of cooking. Once done, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
  3. Cook the Vegetables:
    In the same skillet, add the onions, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the minced garlic, paprika, and red pepper flakes, and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently.
  4. Combine the Ingredients:
    Add the cooked potatoes and steak to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  5. Fry the Eggs:
    In a separate pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan, cooking them sunny-side up, over-easy, or to your preference.
  6. Serve:
    Divide the hash mixture onto plates, and top each serving with a fried egg. Garnish with fresh herbs or additional pepper, if desired.

Storage/Reheating

FAQs

1. Can I use a different type of potato for this recipe?

Yes, you can use other potatoes such as russet or red potatoes. Yukon Gold potatoes are ideal because they become crispy on the outside while staying tender inside.

2. How do I cook the steak to my desired doneness?

Cook the steak for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time according to your preference for rare, medium, or well-done steak.

3. Can I prepare this hash ahead of time?

Yes, you can prep the potatoes, steak, and vegetables ahead of time and store them in the fridge. When you’re ready to eat, just heat everything together in a skillet, then add the fried eggs on top.

4. Can I use frozen hash browns instead of fresh potatoes?

Yes, frozen hash browns can be used as a quick alternative to diced fresh potatoes. Just skip the initial step of cooking the potatoes from scratch and sauté the frozen hash browns directly in the skillet.

5. How can I make this dish spicier?

You can increase the amount of red pepper flakes, add fresh diced jalapeños, or use a spicy sauce like sriracha to give the hash more heat.

6. Can I use a different type of steak?

Yes, you can use ribeye, New York strip, or top sirloin steak. Choose a cut that you prefer, and adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the steak.

7. Can I make this hash without eggs?

If you don’t want eggs, simply skip that step or try replacing them with scrambled tofu or a plant-based egg alternative for a vegan option.

8. Can I add cheese to this hash?

Yes! Adding shredded cheese such as cheddar, gouda, or Monterey Jack to the hash after cooking gives it an extra creamy texture.

9. Can I freeze the hash?

While the hash can be frozen, the potatoes may lose some of their crispness. To freeze, store in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop when ready to serve.

10. Can I use a different bell pepper color?

Absolutely! You can substitute the red and green bell peppers with yellow or orange bell peppers for a different flavor and color.
