Steak and Egg Hash Recipe

Steak: Tender pieces of beef cut into bite-sized pieces, providing a rich and savory flavor.

Eggs: Fresh eggs that will be cooked to your liking in the hash, adding protein and richness.

Potatoes: Diced potatoes that will become crispy and golden brown, adding a hearty base to the dish.

Onion: Chopped onions that will cook until translucent, adding sweetness and depth of flavor.

Olive oil: Used for cooking the potatoes and onions, adding a subtle fruity flavor and helping to achieve a crispy texture.

Salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the dish, bringing out the natural tastes of the ingredients.

Black pepper: Adds a touch of heat and complexity, balancing the flavors in the hash.

To achieve perfectly golden brown potatoes, make sure to cut them into uniform pieces. This ensures even cooking and prevents some pieces from being undercooked while others are overdone. Additionally, resist the urge to stir them too frequently; allowing them to sit undisturbed in the skillet for a few minutes at a time will help develop that desirable crispy exterior.

• Allow the steak and egg hash to cool completely before storing. This helps prevent condensation, which can make the potatoes soggy.

• Transfer the cooled hash into an airtight container. For best results, use a container that minimizes excess air to maintain freshness.

• Store the container in the refrigerator. The hash will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.

• For freezing, portion the hash into individual servings. This makes it easier to reheat only what you need.

• Place each portion into a freezer-safe bag or container. Be sure to remove as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn.

• Label the containers with the date so you can keep track of how long they’ve been stored. The hash can be frozen for up to 2 months.

• When ready to eat, thaw the hash in the refrigerator overnight. This ensures even defrosting and maintains the texture of the potatoes and steak.

• Reheat the hash in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. You can also use a microwave, but be sure to stir occasionally to ensure even heating.

• If the eggs have become overcooked during reheating, consider adding a freshly cooked egg on top for a better texture and flavor.
