Chef Johns Corned Beef Hash Recipes

CORNED BEEF HASH

Steps:

• Add the brisket to a large pot and cover it with water. Add the bay leaves and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Boil the brisket over medium-low heat until tender. Remove from the water and set aside.
• In a medium skillet over medium heat add the onions, garlic, thyme, Worcestershire, and hot pepper sauce. Saute until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the wine and stir to deglaze the pan.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook until tender. Drain and set aside.
• Combine the mustard, Worcestershire and hot pepper sauce in a small bowl.
• Add the brisket, the potato mixture and the mustard mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Pulse until the beef becomes stringy. Don't overmix. Pull off any excess fat. Serve or store in the refrigerator for later use.

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until almost tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain and finely chop.
• Cook beef in a large cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat until fat begins to render. Stir green onions, salt, and pepper into beef. Add garlic and butter; cook and stir until butter is melted and garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Stir potatoes, salsa, and a pinch of salt into beef mixture. Pat mixture down in the skillet with a spatula and divide hash into 4 sections. Cook, without stirring, until a crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip sections and cook until a crust forms on the bottom again, about 5 minutes more. Repeat cooking and flipping process, flipping every 5 minutes, until hash stays together and has a golden crust, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut a 1/4-inch slice off the bottom each potato so it sits flat on a cutting board. Cut some more 1/4-inch slices straight down and then cut potatoes into sticks. Turn sticks and cut across to create a uniform dice. Transfer to a bowl of cold water.
• Combine butter and olive oil in a skillet over high heat until butter melts. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up with a flat-edge utensil, until crumbly, about 5 minutes.
• Drain potatoes and add to the beef with a nice pinch of salt. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes just start to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Smooth mixture in the skillet and press against the bottom of the pan to help everything get nice and crusty.
• Stir in onions and mushrooms and add another pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions and mushrooms have softened up and taken on some beautiful color, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with black pepper, cayenne, and rosemary.
• Add bell pepper, poblano pepper, and another pinch of salt. Cook until peppers are tender and the rest of the ingredients are dark and crispy, about 5 more minutes.
• Stir in green onions and cook for a few more minutes. Remove from the heat and serve.
