The Predator Breakfast Hash
Updated: 4 days ago
I'm Jayne Smythe, a coach and trainer with SalesBEAST, and I am writing this from a Florida kitchen that smells like smoked paprika at an hour most people consider rude. I teach that healthy body, healthy mind is less of a slogan and more of a schedule. On early yoga days I come home starving, and this hash is the reason I am not eating cereal over the sink.
Most people start the morning half awake, underfed, and already behind, and then wonder why their first call of the day sounds like they are reading a hostage note. The Predator Breakfast Hash changes that.
Eggs, lean steak, potatoes, peppers, onions, and spinach come together in one skillet for a breakfast that gets you to your 9am call fed, focused, and actually listening to your prospect instead of thinking about a muffin. It is the kind of start that makes a full pipeline day feel possible, and it only dirties one pan, which I consider a professional courtesy to my future self.
This is not the kind of breakfast that whispers good morning. It kicks the door open.
A word on timing. The potatoes take the longest, so start them first and use those ten minutes to look over your call list for the day. By the time the eggs are set, you know who you are calling, what you are asking for, and what you will say when they push back. Breakfast and prep, finished together. If you want it even faster, dice the potatoes and peppers the night before and keep them in the fridge, ready to go.
Ingredients
Serves 2
6 ounces lean steak, bite sized
4 eggs
1 medium potato, diced
½ red bell pepper
½ green bell pepper
½ small onion
1 cup spinach
1 tablespoon olive oil
Smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper
Directions
Cook potatoes in half the oil for 8 to 10 minutes.
Add peppers and onion for 4 minutes.
Season steak and cook 3 to 5 minutes.
Add spinach until wilted.
Create four spaces, crack in eggs, cover, and cook until whites are set.
Garnish and serve.
Why This Fuels a Beast
Eggs bring protein, which helps you feel full well past your first round of calls.
Steak adds more protein plus iron, so breakfast actually carries you to lunch.
Spinach brings iron, vitamin K, and folate, and it wilts down so fast you will barely notice you ate a vegetable before 8am.
Potatoes give you carbohydrates your body can use for energy, which beats a pastry eaten in the car between meetings.
Peppers bring vitamin C and color, and onions bring the flavor that makes you want to cook this again tomorrow.
Richard, who has been closing deals and filling his freezer since before I could drive, says the only proper meat for a hash is venison. I told him the stove works exactly the same for him as it does for me.
