How To Make Avocado Steak Hash Browns
Preheat your oven to 400°F and arrange hash brown patties on a baking sheet. Bake them for about 14–15 minutes until golden and crispy.

Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat for about a minute. Add the steak and sear for 5 minutes on each side, reducing heat slightly to medium-high after the initial sear.

Once cooked to your liking, transfer the steak to a plate and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
While the steak rests, mash the avocados in a bowl with lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. For extra heat, thinly slice a Serrano chili and mix it in or reserve for topping.
To assemble: layer crispy hash browns on each plate. Spread with a generous scoop of avocado mash, top with sliced steak, and finish with sliced Serrano chili and chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately while everything is warm and vibrant.
Commonly Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of steak?
Yes, flank or skirt steak also works well—just adjust cooking times to avoid overcooking thinner cuts.
What can I use instead of hash brown patties?
Shredded hash browns (homemade or bagged) can be cooked in a skillet until crispy and used as a base.
Is this recipe spicy?
Only if you add the Serrano chili. Feel free to skip or substitute with a milder pepper if preferred.
Can I prep anything ahead of time?
Yes. You can cook the steak in advance and warm it just before serving. The avocado mash is best made fresh to avoid browning.
