A hearty and flavorful breakfast skillet featuring tender steak, runny eggs, and crispy potatoes, perfect for busy mornings or lazy weekend brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz flank or skirt steak, sliced into thin strips
  • 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 4 large eggs, preferably at room temperature
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 medium red or green bell pepper, chopped (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse the diced russet potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then soak for 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  2. Pat the steak strips dry, then season liberally with salt, pepper, and half the smoked paprika. Let it rest at room temperature while you prep the veggies.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in your skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes.
  4. Push potatoes to one side, add the remaining olive oil, then toss in diced onion and bell pepper. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic in the last minute to avoid burning.
  5. Move the veggies aside and add the steak strips in a hot spot of the skillet. Sear quickly, about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned but still juicy.
  6. Mix the potatoes, veggies, and steak together. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, and smoked paprika as needed.
  7. Make four small wells in the skillet mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and cook until eggs are set to your liking, about 3-5 minutes for runny yolks.
  8. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and an extra crack of black pepper. Serve straight from the skillet.

Notes

Soak potatoes in cold water and dry thoroughly for extra crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure golden edges. Add eggs last and cover immediately to steam gently without drying out. Use medium heat to prevent burning steak or potatoes.
