Corned Beef Hash – a delicious combination of tender shredded corned beef, potatoes, onions, and pan braised cabbage wedges.
Although we are not even remotely Irish, corned beef is something we enjoy very much. I prepare it every year when the grocery stores start offering them for sale. So far, I have already shared a slow cooker version and a roasted version. This time, I needed a different recipe and I got my inspiration two weeks ago when Ro-Ri San brought me to an Irish pub that had recently opened not too far from where we lived.
The first thing that caught my eye on their breakfast/brunch menu was Corned Beef Hash served with poached eggs and marbled rye bread. It looked was just the thing I wanted for brunch. It looked so good and it tasted even better! I knew I had to replicate it at home for the boys.
The next weekend, I picked up a point cut corned beef from the grocery store. I usually prefer flat cut corned beef but I figured point cut would work since it would be shredded anyway. To do that quickly, I decided to cook the corned beef in a pressure cooker. It took an hour and the beef was beautifully tender and very easy to shred. First part of the work done and it was easy!
Then it was just cooking the potatoes and onions in a cast iron skillet. Mix in the shredded corned beef and our Corned Beef Hash is ready.
Since I was serving this Corned Beef Hash for dinner, I decided to pair it with pan braised cabbage wedges like the one I prepared in this Roasted Corned Beef and Cabbage last year. If you are doing a rehash of left over corned beef for breakfast, you can serve it with poached or over easy eggs. It is delicious either way.
