When I'm cooking corned beef, watching it simmer in the aromatic broth, I'll sometimes close my eyes and picture the delicious plate of food I have coming. The funny thing is, it's not the sliced corned beef and cabbage I'm dreaming of, it's the corned beef hash I'm going to be making with the leftovers. Garnish with green onions and a poached egg.

CHEF JOHN'S HAMBURGER HASH



Chef John's Hamburger Hash image

Move over corned beef, because there's a new hash in town! If you like hash, you are going to love this version made with ground beef instead of corned. Making a hash is basically a 3-step process: frying your meat and potatoes, adding onions and mushrooms, and then adding quick-cooking vegetables like peppers. But take a look in the fridge and use any ingredients you'd like because in the game of hash, whoever has the most ingredients wins! Top with a cayenne-dusted poached egg and green onions if you'd like.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large russet potatoes, peeled
1 tablespoon salted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground beef
salt to taste
¾ cup diced yellow onions
¾ cup diced button mushrooms
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch dried rosemary
½ cup diced red bell pepper
½ cup diced poblano pepper
½ cup thinly sliced green onions

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.

CHEF JOHN'S CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE



Chef John's Corned Beef and Cabbage image

It's almost St. Patrick's Day, and for many that means boiling up a nice authentic Irish dinner of corned beef and cabbage. The original Irish recipe actually used a type of lean bacon, made with a cut of pork similar to Canadian bacon. Corned beef came into the picture as a lower-cost substitution, to replace the more expensive and harder to find cut.
