Equipment

  • Large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 pound flank steak thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 4 large eggs whisked
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded hash brown potatoes
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped sweet onion
  • 4 ounces sliced Portobello mushrooms
  • 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 ripe plum tomato chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Start by seasoning your thinly sliced flank steak. I usually sprinkle it with salt, pepper, and a dash of cayenne. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt half a tablespoon of unsalted butter. Once melted, add the seasoned steak. Sauté it until it’s browned. Keep it tender—no one likes overcooked steak! This should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Once done, set the steak aside.
  • In the same skillet, add your diced green bell pepper, chopped sweet onion, and sliced Portobello mushrooms. Allow them to sauté in the leftover juices for about 5 minutes. This step enriches the flavors and creates a beautiful medley of textures. You want them soft, but not mushy. Once cooked, return the steak to the skillet.
  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne. This is where the magic begins. You want a fluffy and flavorful base, so whisk until all ingredients are fully combined.
  • While the veggies and steak are finishing up, let’s get your hash browns cooking. In a separate pan, cook the shredded hash brown potatoes over medium heat until they’re crispy. This adds a delightful crunch to the omelette. Once they are golden brown, set them aside as well.
  • Now, combine the cooked steak and sautéed veggies. In the same skillet, pour in the whisked eggs. Let them cook for a minute, then gently stir with a spatula to form soft curds. Add the hash browns on top, followed by the shredded Cheddar cheese. When the cheese starts to melt, fold half the omelette over itself.
  • Finally, you’re ready to serve! Slide the omelette onto a plate and sprinkle with fresh parsley and chopped tomatoes. This step adds a burst of color and freshness to the dish. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh veggies and herbs enhance flavor and texture.
  2. Don’t Overcook the Steak: Keep it tender by avoiding overcooking. Aim for medium-rare.
  3. Experiment with Cheese: Don’t limit yourself to Cheddar. Try Pepper Jack for a kick or Feta for a Greek twist!
  4. Prep Ahead: Chop veggies and slice your steak the night before to save time in the morning.
  • Keep It Fluffy: Avoid cooking eggs on too high heat to keep them light and fluffy.
