Print Recipe

A satisfying and hearty breakfast skillet featuring tender steak, crispy hash browns, and perfectly cooked eggs, ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz ribeye or sirloin steak, about 1-inch thick
  • 2 large eggs, preferably at room temperature
  • 2 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed slightly
  • ½ medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Take the steak out of the fridge to come to room temperature. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Slightly thaw the hash browns if frozen to avoid excess moisture.
  2. Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  3. Place your cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat.
  4. Once the oil shimmers, add the steak. Don’t move it around; let it sear to build a crust. Flip when the first side is golden brown. Cook about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium.
  5. Remove steak from skillet and tent with foil. Rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and diced onions to the skillet. Sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes, then add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  7. Spread the hash browns evenly in the skillet with onions and garlic. Press down gently and cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes to get crispy on one side, then flip carefully and crisp the other side. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. Make two small wells in the hash browns and crack an egg into each. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and cook until eggs reach preferred doneness, about 5 minutes for runny yolks.
  9. Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips. Nestle the steak slices around the eggs and hash browns.
  10. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the skillet and serve immediately.

Notes

Pat steak dry before seasoning for a better crust. Let hash browns cook undisturbed to get crispy edges. Rest steak after cooking to keep it juicy. For dairy-free, substitute butter with olive or avocado oil.
