American Breakfasts are great !

Try this:

Breakfast Steak Hash... from the book (buy it! great recipes inside !) of Paul Gayler:

Mashed potatoes pancake with strips of steak on top and a fried egg, topped with black bean salsa.

serves 4

to make the black bean Salsa get 2 tomatoes, blanched, seeded and diced; 1/2 red bell pepper cut into 5 mm dice; 100 g cooked black beans; 1 red onion, chopped; 1 small red chili, seeded and finely chopped ; 1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander; 1/2 tbsp maple syrup; juice of 1 lime - mix them all in a bowl and let infuse for one hour in a cool place.

to make the hash potatoes mix 300 g of crushed cooked potatoes with 2 egg yolks and 1 tbsp flour. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Mold this into 4 small patties, chill for 1 hour. Get a non-sticky frying pan with 1 tbsp of sunflower oil and, when hot, cook until golden, 3-4 minutes in each side. Keep warm.

Heat another non-stick pan with 1 tbsp of oil and when very hot, season the beef, a 400 g mignon steak cut in thin strips, with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Fry them quickly until sealed and golden all over, then remove from the heat, add the half avocado, seeded and stoned to the pan together with 5o g Cheddar cheese and stir together until the beef is bound with the cheese.

Fry the 4 free range eggs in another pan .

On the plate, place a potato cake and top it with some beef mixture and a fried egg. Spoon some black bean salsa around and over. Serve at once.

Thanks Paul
