Ingredients

Scale

For the Hash Base:

2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 strips bacon, chopped
1 large onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Steak Seasoning:

1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

For the Finishing Touch:

4–6 eggs (one per person)
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
2 green onions, sliced thin
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Hot sauce for serving
Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes Wash and dice potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Pat them dry with paper towels (this is key for crispy potatoes). Season with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Season the Steak Cut steak into bite-sized cubes and toss with all the seasoning ingredients. Let it sit for 10 minutes to get friendly with the spices.

Step 3: Cook the Bacon Heat a large cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Cook bacon until crispy, about 5-6 minutes. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the fat in the pan.

Step 4: Crispy Potato Magic Add 2 tbsp olive oil to the bacon fat. Add potatoes in a single layer (don’t overcrowd). Cook for 4-5 minutes without stirring to get that golden crust. Flip and cook another 4-5 minutes until golden and tender. Season with salt and pepper. Remove potatoes and set aside.

Step 5: Sear the Steak Add remaining oil to the pan if needed. Add steak cubes and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking (medium-rare to medium works best for hash). Remove and set aside.

Step 6: Build the Flavor Base Add butter to the pan. Sauté onion for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add bell pepper and cook another 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7: Bring It All Together Return potatoes, steak, and bacon to the pan. Toss everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through and let the flavors meld. Make little wells in the hash and crack eggs into each well.

Step 8: Finish and Serve Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny. Sprinkle with cheese and let it melt. Top with green onions and parsley. Serve immediately with hot sauce.

Notes

Serve with buttered toast or English muffins for sopping up those runny yolks.

Add sliced avocado for extra richness.

A side of fresh fruit helps balance all that hearty goodness.

Coffee. Lots of coffee. This is breakfast, after all.
