Ingredients

Steak:

1 Whole Hanger Steak cubed
2.5 tbsp Cowboy Butter Rub
3-4 Farm Fresh Eggs
Neutral Oil as needed

Roasted Potatoes:

2 cups Diced Potatoes parboiled
2 tbsp Cowboy Butter Rub
Neutral Oil as needed

Cowboy Butter:

1 cup Unsalted Butter melted
1.5 tbsp Cowboy Butter Rub
1.5 tbsp Dijon Mustard
1.5 tbsp Minced Garlic
1.5 tbsp Chopped Parsley
1 tbsp Sundried Tomatoes chopped
2 tsp Red Chili Flakes
Kosher Salt to taste

Instructions

Parboiled Potatoes:

Preheat your stove for high heat cooking (around 400F). Add a ceramic dutch oven over the fire with 4 cups of water to heat until boiling.
When the water is boiling, add the baking soda to the water and stir. Next add your potatoes and boil until half way cooked (about 10-15 minutes). When the potatoes can be poked with a fork but there is a little resistance, then they are ready. Pull them out and let them cool for 5 minutes.

Steak, Eggs & Butter:

Slice your steaks into bite 1.5” pieces. Slather your steaks with oil and season thoroughly with my Cowboy Butter Rub. Set to the side.
In a bowl, mix together the ingredients for the cowboy butter and set to the side.
Get your fire for direct cooking at medium high heat (around 375F). Add a cast iron skillet with oil to preheat 2 minutes before cooking.
Add your steak bites to the skillet and cook for 1.5 minutes per side. Once they are done, pull them off and keep warm.
Add the potatoes to the skillet and let cook for 5-7 minutes until they have browned and are crispy on the outside. When done, add the steak back to the skillet and make 3-4 divots for the eggs.
Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired liking. Right before you are done, drizzle the butter over the top of the skillet and pull off to cool.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Ingredient Tip: Neutral Oil

For my neutral oil, I usually reach for canola oil, but lately, I’ve been all about avocado oil. It’s got a super high smoke point, making it perfect for high-heat cooking. Plus, seed oils are getting a bad rap for a reason—their high Omega-6 content may trigger inflammation. Avocado oil has only a small amount of Omega-6, making it a win for health, taste, and that all-important smoke point. If you're on Keto or rocking a carnivore diet, avocado oil is gold for keeping things balanced at high temps. Want to level up even more? Cook your steak and potatoes in grass-fed beef tallow—it tastes amazing and has even less Omega-6.
