Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/4 cup fresh coriander, chopped
- 4 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by dicing potatoes into small, uniform cubes, finely chopping onions and garlic, and chopping fresh coriander.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break it into small pieces using a wooden spatula, cooking until browned and no pink remains, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Remove browned beef from the skillet, leaving behind the rendered fat. Add diced potatoes to the same skillet, spreading them in a single layer to ensure crispy edges.
- Cook potatoes for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they develop golden-brown crispy exterior and are tender inside.
- Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the potatoes, sautéing for an additional 3-4 minutes until onions become translucent and fragrant.
- Return browned beef to the skillet, mixing thoroughly with potatoes, onions, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the hash and sprinkle half of the chopped coriander, stirring to distribute flavors evenly.
- In a separate non-stick pan, crack eggs and cook sunny-side up, keeping yolks runny and whites crisp around the edges.
- Plate the beef hash, topping each serving with a sunny-side egg and garnishing with remaining fresh coriander.
- Serve immediately while hot, allowing the egg yolk to mix with the hash when broken.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop your potatoes, onions, and garlic in advance. This way, you can simply toss everything together when you’re ready to cook.
- Get the Right Skillet: Using a cast-iron skillet not only helps achieve that perfect crispy texture on the potatoes but also retains heat well, ensuring even cooking.
- Don’t Rush the Potatoes: For the crispiest potatoes, make sure to spread them in a single layer in the skillet and resist the urge to stir too often. Let them develop a nice golden-brown crust before adding the other ingredients.
- Fresh Ingredients Matter: Using fresh coriander and lime juice will enhance the flavors of the dish significantly. Don’t skip these ingredients for the best result!
- Perfect Sunny-Side Eggs: For the ideal sunny-side egg, cook them on low heat and cover the pan briefly to help the whites set while keeping the yolks runny.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best enjoyed hot and fresh. Serve it right away to ensure the egg yolk mixes beautifully with the beef hash, creating a rich and delicious flavor.
