Hearty Steak, Eggs, & Breakfast Potatoes Recipe
This delicious, savory, and protein-packed meal is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dinner!
My steak, eggs, & breakfast potatoes recipe is the perfect hearty meal for brunch or breakfast! Steak & eggs is a classic combo, and the potatoes make this entree a fulfilling meal. This meal will have everyone running to the table, eager to eat before it’s even ready. Add this delicious breakfast entree to any brunch menu or for special occasions, and it won’t disappoint your guests.
The garlicky and buttery aroma from the juicy steak cooking will flow through your kitchen making the home smell so good. This dish gets a fresh burst of flavor from all the spices and herbs will leave you feeling full for longer. For this recipe, I used a hearty size rib eye steak, diced up some red potatoes, and used brown eggs. Use any cut of beef that you like for the steak. Sirloin works just fine as well. If you don’t want to use red potatoes, you can substitute them with gold Yukon potatoes or chop up an Idaho potato. I usually like to cook my eggs scrambled, but feel free to cook your eggs based on your preference such as Over Easy, Poached, or Sunny Side Up!
