🍳 Equipment

You will need a large skillet and a medium saucepan to make this recipe. Also be sure to have a quality chef's knife to chop the vegetables (affiliate links).

🧾 Ingredients

Russet potatoes peeled and chopped (2 small). These are also known as baking potatoes. You can substitute Yukon Gold or red potatoes. Because red potatoes are typically small, you can probably get away with cutting them into quarters.
Extra virgin olive oil (¼ cup). Be sure to use good quality extra virgin olive oil.
Ribeye or New York strip steak (1 lb). We are partial to ribeye for its quality and tenderness. It can be a little pricey though. New York strip steak is a good less expensive alternative.
Kosher salt to season the steak. Be sure to use kosher salt to season the steak prior to cooking it. Table salt will not do here. Spread the kosher salt liberally over the surface of the meat. The salt will draw the internal moisture out and dissolve the salt creating a brine on the surface that will help give the meat a good sear when you add it to the skillet. It's a good idea to keep kosher salt on hand. You can also use it to clean your cast iron skillets.
Medium yellow onion (½), chopped. Either yellow or white will work.
Sliced white mushrooms (2 cups). Adds nice flavor and texture. You can buy them pre-sliced to save time and effort.
Large red bell pepper (1), chopped. For flavor, texture and color.
Smoked paprika (1½ teaspoon). Adds a nice smokey flavor that complements well with the meat.
Large eggs (4). Adds protein and nutrients for a hearty meal.
Salt and pepper to taste. Adds flavor.

💭 Tips and Suggestions

Our beef hash and eggs is a great way to use leftover potatoes and steak. However, if you want to make it fresh for brunch or as a hearty weekend breakfast, you can save time by peeling, chopping and cooking the potatoes the day before. Store the cooked potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Be sure to oil and use kosher salt to liberally season the raw steak at least a half hour before cooking. Doing this will draw the moisture to the surface of the steak which will dissolve the salt and create a brine that tenderizes the steak and allows for crusty flavorful browning (source).
