Corned Beef And Root Vegetable Hash Recipes

Steps:

• GARNI: Prepare the bouquet garni: Place seasonings into middle of cheesecloth and tie with twine. Set aside.
• BEEF: The method of tying up the brisket is optional for presentation, if not rolling, be sure and place brisket fat side up in the pot. TO ROLL, roll up the brisket fat side out into a cylinder shape and tie securely with twine. Place tied beef into a pot. Cover with cold water, add cider vinegar (the vinegar helps tenderize the meat), and bring to a boil. Remove the scum off the surface as it appears. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. If the liquid is salty after 10 minutes, start again with boiling water. Add bouquet garni. Simmer for 2-3 hours skimming any scum as it appears on the surface.
• VEGETABLES: Transfer beef to a large clean pot. Strain the liquid, cool slightly, and remove any oil/grease. Add onions, turnips, potatoes, carrots and cabbage, and apple cider to the pot containing the brisket. Cover with strained liquid and cook at a simmer for 1 hour more, or until very tender (you can pierce beef easily with a skewer).
• SERVE: Remove the meat from the poaching liquid , cut the trussing strings and carve the meat into generous slices. Place them on a warmed platter. Arrange the cooked garnish vegetables around the meat. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve with the beets.

Steps:

• Bring stock, potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and turnips to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce heat, and simmer until just tender, about 6 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup liquid; set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add vegetables and the reserved 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are browned, about 25 minutes. Stir in corned beef and mustard. To serve, top with eggs, and season with pepper.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Add the corned beef and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until it releases some fat and browns slightly, about 3 minutes. Stir in the onion, bell pepper and potatoes and cook, undisturbed, until brown and crisp on the bottom, about 6 minutes. Continue cooking, turning the hash as it browns evenly, about 15 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the eggs sunny-side up or over easy; season with salt and pepper.
• Place the cheese slices on top of the hash, reduce the heat and let sit until the cheese melts, about 1 minute. To serve, top each portion of hash with a fried egg.

Steps:

• For brine:
• Pour 6 cups water and beer into large deep roasting pan. Add coarse salt; stir until dissolved. Add sugar; stir until dissolved. If desired, stir in Insta Cure No. 1. Mix in pickling spices. Pierce brisket all over with tip of small sharp knife. Submerge brisket in liquid, then top with heavy platter to weigh down. Cover and refrigerate 4 days.
• Remove brisket from brine. Stir liquid to blend. Return brisket to brine; top with heavy platter. Cover; refrigerate 4 days. Remove brisket from brine. Rinse with cold running water.
• For corned beef and vegetables:
• Place corned beef in very large wide pot. Add stout and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Wrap cheesecloth around bay leaves, coriander seeds, allspice, and chile, enclosing completely, and tie with kitchen string to secure. Add spice bag to pot with beef; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until beef is tender, about 2 1/4 hours. Transfer beef to large baking sheet.
• Add turnips and all remaining vegetables to liquid in pot; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and boil gently until all vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to baking sheet with beef. Return beef to pot and rewarm 5 minutes. Discard spice bag.
• Cut beef against grain into 1/4-inch thick slices. Arrange beef and vegetables on platter. Serve with Horseradish Cream and Guinness Mustard.
• Do Ahead
• Brisket can be removed from brine 2 days ahead. Wrap corned beef in plastic, cover with foil, and refrigerate.

Steps:

• For corned beef:
• Place corned beef in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot and add water to cover by 1". Add parsley sprigs, bay leaves, peppercorns, coriander seeds, and mustard seeds. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer, skimming surface often and adding more water to pot as needed to keep meat submerged, until corned beef is tender, 3 1/2-4 hours.
• Add onion and potato to corned beef in pot and cook until vegetables are very tender, 20-25 minutes. Remove onion and potato from pot. Let cool; wrap separately and chill. Let corned beef cool in cooking liquid. Transfer corned beef to an airtight container and add as much cooking liquid as will fit (at least 1 cup). Cover and chill. Discard any remaining aromatics and cooking liquid.
• DO AHEAD: Corned beef and vegetables can be cooked 2 days ahead; keep chilled until ready to use.
• For hash:
• Remove corned beef from cooking liquid and shred enough to measure 2 cups (reserve any remaining corned beef for sandwiches or snacking).
• Preheat oven to 200°F. Thinly slice cooked onion and cut cooked potato into 1/2" pieces; toss in a large bowl with corned beef and 1/4 cup parsley. Moisten with cooking liquid if mixture is dry; season with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 of corned beef mixture and press into a pancake. Cook undisturbed until underside is brown and crisp, 6-8 minutes. Set a plate over pan and carefully invert pancake onto plate; slide back into pan, pressing back into shape if needed. Cook until second side is brown and crisp, 6-8 minutes. Transfer hash to a rimmed baking sheet (it may break up a little), tent with foil, and keep warm in oven until ready to serve. Repeat with remaining butter and corned beef mixture.
• Meanwhile, bring 2" water to a boil in a large saucepan; reduce heat to a gentle simmer and add vinegar. Crack an egg into a small bowl and gently slide egg into water. Repeat with remaining eggs, waiting until whites are opaque before adding the next (about 30 seconds apart). Poach until whites are set and yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs as they are done to paper towels.
• Serve eggs over hash, seasoned with salt and pepper and topped with chives and more parsley.
• DO AHEAD: Eggs can be poached 2 hours ahead; place in a bowl of ice water and chill. Reheat in barely simmering water 1 minute just before serving.

Steps:

• In a large dutch oven or deep pot, bring the root vegetables to a boil in 4 cups of water seasoned with 2 tsp salt. Reduce heat, and simmer until just tender, about 6 minutes. Drain.
• Combine the corned beef, root vegetables, onions, and stock. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the corned beef mixture, pressing to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook, without stirring, until golden brown and most of the liquid evaporates, about 15 minutes. Turn hash over. Cook until bottom is golden brown, about 10 minutes longer.
