A hearty and satisfying breakfast skillet featuring tender steak, crispy hash browns, melty cheese, and fresh eggs. Perfect for easy, cozy mornings with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cooked steak, diced or thinly sliced (ribeye or sirloin recommended)
  • 3 cups frozen hash browns (about 450 grams), thawed slightly
  • 4 large eggs, preferably at room temperature
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar or cheddar and Monterey Jack blend (about 100 grams)
  • ½ medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • ½ cup diced red or green bell pepper (about 75 grams)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (about 30 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional, such as chopped parsley or chives)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients (10 minutes): Dice the cooked steak into bite-sized pieces. Chop onion and bell pepper finely. Mince garlic cloves. Thaw hash browns slightly if frozen.
  2. Cook the Vegetables (5 minutes): Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and bell peppers, sauté until softened and slightly golden (3-4 minutes). Add garlic in the last 30 seconds.
  3. Cook the Hash Browns (10-12 minutes): Push veggies to the side, add remaining butter. Spread hash browns evenly. Cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook another 4-5 minutes.
  4. Add Steak and Seasonings (2 minutes): Stir diced steak into skillet with hash browns and veggies. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 2 minutes to warm through.
  5. Add Eggs and Cheese (5-7 minutes): Beat eggs lightly in a bowl, pour evenly over skillet mixture. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Reduce heat to low, cover skillet, cook until eggs set but slightly runny (about 5 minutes).
  6. Finish and Garnish: Remove from heat, sprinkle fresh herbs if using, and serve straight from the skillet.

Notes

Do not rush cooking the hash browns to ensure crispiness. Use leftover cooked steak or sear raw steak separately before adding. Beat eggs thoroughly and cook covered on low heat to avoid rubbery texture. Adjust salt carefully as steak and cheese add saltiness. For dairy-free, substitute cheese with plant-based alternative and butter with coconut oil.
