I ended up not eating all my steak last night. It is a very odd occurence, but stranger things have happened. It was a fairly large filet mignon and knowing that those cuts are forgiving in terms of recooking the next day I planned myself a nice big breakfast. Since I did not have to be at work until 10:30 this morning, it seemed like a perfect opportunity. I first diced half of a yellow onion and a small yukon gold potato and put them in my cast iron pan over medium high heat with a blend of canola and olive oil, salt and pepper. While the "healthy" part of the meal was cooking away I got out my left over steak and diced it up into 1/2 inch squares. After stirring the potato and onion mix in the pan to make sure everything was browning up nicely I added the steak. The cast iron pan was pretty hot at this point so I turned off the flame and let it all simmer. In a separate non-stick pan I placed a little butter over medium heat. Once the butter melted I cracked two eggs into the pan and salted and peppered them. After a couple of minutes I flipped them and seasoned the other side. I plated the filet mignon hash and then slid my two over easy eggs on top. What a way to start the day! I can honestly say that I hope I have left over steak next time I am hungover because that would be a perfect cure!
Regarding the photo: this is not a glamourous meal. If I had really been thinking I would have gone out back and snipped some chives to garnish the plate. Judge me not by how I look, but by how I taste!!! Have a great weekend!
