Left over steak part 1

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!
