A quick, easy, and hearty one-pan steak and potato hash perfect for busy weeknights. This recipe combines crispy potatoes, juicy steak bites, and caramelized onions for a satisfying meal with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 medium russet potatoes (about 12 oz), peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper, freshly cracked
  • Salt to taste (preferably kosher salt)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional: hot sauce or chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients (about 10 minutes): Dice the potatoes into roughly ½-inch cubes. Slice the onion thinly and dice the red bell pepper. Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch chunks. Mince the garlic cloves carefully.
  2. Cook the potatoes (10-12 minutes): Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in your skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed potatoes, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes until they start to crisp. Stir occasionally after that, cooking until golden brown and tender. If they’re sticking, add a splash of water and cover briefly to steam through.
  3. Sauté the onions and peppers (5 minutes): Push the potatoes to one side of the pan. Add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Toss in the onions and peppers, cooking until softened and slightly caramelized.
  4. Cook the steak (4-5 minutes): Push the potatoes and veggies to the edges, creating space in the center. Add the steak pieces, seasoning with smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Let the steak sear without moving it for 2 minutes to get a nice crust, then stir to cook evenly until just pink inside but browned on the outside.
  5. Add garlic and combine (1 minute): Toss the minced garlic into the pan, stirring everything together. Cook for another minute until fragrant but not burnt.
  6. Final touches: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the hash just before serving.

Notes

Let potatoes cook undisturbed initially to get a crispy crust. Avoid overcrowding the pan with steak to ensure proper searing. If potatoes are still firm, cover briefly with a splash of water to steam through. Soak cast iron pan quickly after cooking and scrub with kosher salt to maintain it. This recipe is versatile: swap steak for tofu or mushrooms for a vegetarian option, add jalapeños for spice, or use seasonal veggies.
