Print Recipe

A hearty and protein-packed breakfast skillet featuring tender steak, crispy potatoes, and perfectly cooked eggs, ideal for Father’s Day or any special morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces flank or sirloin steak, trimmed and cut into bite-sized strips
  • 2 medium russet or Yukon gold potatoes, diced small
  • 4 large eggs, preferably free-range or organic
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 medium red or green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley or chives
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dice potatoes into ½ inch cubes. Toss in a mixing bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, and a pinch of black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the seasoned potatoes in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes to get crispy edges, then stir occasionally for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and tender. Add a splash of water and cover if sticking to steam-cook through.
  3. Push potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add more oil if needed, then add chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes until soft and fragrant, stirring occasionally.
  4. Season steak strips with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. In a separate smaller pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear steak pieces for 2-3 minutes per side until browned but still juicy. Add butter near the end and spoon melted butter over the meat. Transfer steak to the skillet with potatoes and vegetables, mixing gently.
  5. In the same pan or skillet, crack 4 eggs carefully. Cook sunny side up or over easy, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until whites set but yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Nestle cooked eggs on top of the steak and potatoes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or chives.
  7. Serve immediately, best enjoyed hot with crusty toast or fresh fruit.

Notes

For dairy-free, substitute butter with extra olive oil. For lower-carb, skip potatoes and add extra bell peppers or mushrooms. Cook steak and eggs separately if skillet is crowded. Let potatoes crisp undisturbed for best texture. Use fresh eggs and medium heat to keep yolks runny. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 2 days and reheat gently in skillet.
