Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 1 pound medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into medium dice
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning

Cooking Up a Storm

To start, heat the oil and butter in a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering and the butter is melted.

Add half of the steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and crusty, about 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside, then repeat with the remaining steak.

Next, add the potatoes and salt to the pan, stir to coat, and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 4-5 minutes. Add the onion and stir to combine, cooking until the potatoes are golden brown all over and the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.

The Pièce de Résistance: Adding the Eggs

Add the reserved steak and any accumulated juices to the potato-onion mixture, stirring to combine. Create 4 indentations, crack an egg into each, and season with salt and pepper. Cover the pan and cook until the egg whites are set and the yolks have reached desired doneness.
