- Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Return the cooked potatoes and beef to the skillet with the onions. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat everything through, stirring occasionally.
- Pour the lightly beaten eggs over the hash mixture in the skillet.
- Stir constantly until the eggs are fully cooked and scrambled into the hash, about 2-3 minutes.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, if needed.
- Serve your steak and potato egg hash hot, garnished with freshly chopped herbs if desired.
