Montreal Smoked Meat Hash With Chile Sauce Recipes

BREWBURGER'S - OLD FASHIONED (MONTREAL SMOKED MEAT)

Steps:

• Place 1 brisket fat down in a pan. Completely submerge the brisket with the brine.
• Brine 2 days in the refrigerator.
• Remove the meat from the brine and rub the meat with 4 tablespoons pickling spices.
• Place the meat in a smoker for 2 hours with maple wood chips.
• Remove from the smoker and place in a pan with 2 cups of water. Wrap with aluminum foil. Place in the oven for 3 hours at 250 degrees F.
• Remove from the oven, slice, and enjoy with rye bread and mustard.

ROASTED ONION AND SMOKED CHILE OYSTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Start by caramelizing the onions: place the onions in a skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Saute, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn a rich, deep-golden brown, about 30 minutes.
• Next, in a 1-quart or larger saucepan on medium heat, saute the shallots in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil until translucent and the edges begin to brown.
• Mince the caramelized onions and add to the shallots, along with the wine and vinegar. Reduce the liquid until syrupy and almost gone. Add the cream and chipotle, and reduce the liquid, until thickened by half. Add the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
• Turn down the heat to the lowest setting and stir in the cold butter a little at a time until melted. Repeat until all of the butter has been incorporated. Turn off the heat (you do not want this mixture to come to a boil once the butter has been added) and re-check for salt and pepper.
• Keep the sauce in a warm place until ready to serve or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• To reheat, warm a couple tablespoons of cream in a small saucepan over low heat, and stir in the cold sauce a little bit at a time until completely incorporated (do not boil).
• Serve with fresh oysters.

HAWAIIAN STYLE SMOKED MEAT

Steps:

• Mix together sugar, shoyu, garlic and ginger in a bowl. Remove and reserve 1/4 cup, and add the pork to the marinade. Refrigerate, covered, for 24 hours.
• Preheat a smoker to 260 degrees F. Remove pork from marinade and thread on skewers. Place skewers in smoker and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the meat registers 145 degrees F, 5 to 6 hours.
• Remove pork from skewers and slice into 1/4-inch pieces. Stir the oyster sauce into the reserved marinade and set aside.
• Stir fry the meat and onions together in the oil in a hot frying pan until the onions are seared, then add oyster sauce mixture.
