Flank Steak Hash with Bell Peppers
The word “hash” is used for a multitude of preparations that combine chopped meat and potatoes—some are crispy and others are soft, some are thinly sauced and others are creamy. This colorful version calls for flank steak, a relatively lean beef cut; a mix of bell peppers; and a toasty bread crumb topping that gives the finished dish an appealing crunchy texture. After transferring the hash to the baking dish, you can cover it tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 day before baking; you will need to increase the baking time by a few minutes.
