Why You'll Love This Recipe
There's nothing like an excellent brunch; this recipe doesn't disappoint. The corned beef brisket can be cooked overnight and ready in the morning. Then all that's left is air frying the potatoes and frying your eggs. This will be one of the best comfort food breakfasts you'll ever have. You may also want to try making a hash with Cajun Smoked Turkey. It's a whole different flavor but just as delicious.
Ingredients
Meat: Corned beef brisket makes an incredible hash and is easy to cook.
Liquids: All you'll need is Guinness Extra Draught Stout for this corned beef recipe.
Vegetables: Sweet onions are the only vegetable you'll need for the corned beef. (See Expert Tips)
Herbs and Spices: For the herbs and spices, have some minced garlic and bay leaves on hand. Other than that, the peppercorn seasoning packet included with your corned beef brisket will go a long way.
See the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, open up that Corned Beef Brisket, rinse it under cold water, and then pat it dry. This rinses any extra salt and whatnot that was in the package. Be sure to keep the little peppercorn packet; you're going to need it.
Next, place the brisket, fat side, in your slow cooker. This allows some of that fat to render through the meat while cooking but also makes for easy removal of the fat at the end. I do the exact same thing for Texas-Style Smoked Brisket and Smoked Pulled Pork.
Quarter two onions and place them around the brisket. Then, pour the Guinness Extra Stout Draught over the Corned Beef and onions.
Lastly, dump the peppercorn packet, garlic, and bay leaves evenly across the top of the brisket.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
Once the corned beef is done in the slow cooker, I like to take it out, discard any extra fat, cube it, and toss it in a hot cast Iron skillet with the cooked onions. This crisps it up a bit before topping the rosemary potatoes.
Another option is to add the Air fryer potatoes to the skillet, but I must warn you, you WILL lose all crispy outside texture by doing so. Both ways are very good; it's just a matter of personal preference.
Assemble by serving a flat layer of air fryer potatoes, topped with corned beef and onions, then two fried eggs and a slice of toast.
Expert Tips
- This recipe works fantastic if you also have leftover Corned beef and cabbage. Even better, if you want to, you can add some chopped cabbage to the slow cooker in the last two hours and have both available.
- Another great option is to make an Italian-style hash using Homemade Hot Ground Italian Sausage.
- If you're looking for another creative option for Corned beef hash, Try serving the corned beef over these Amazing Pan Fried Potato Cakes.
- Be sure that you have the cubed rosemary-infused air fryer breakfast potatoes to go along with the corned beef brisket. That's what will make this a hash.
Recipe FAQs
Per Irish Central, beef wasn't readily available in Ireland. However, corned beef was the cheapest when they came to America, so that's what was eaten on St. Patrick's Day.
Corned Beef is made of the same Brisket that we slowly smoke and take pride in here in Texas. But this brisket is cured in a salt bath, which gives it that pink color and amazing flavor. The brine is similar to a pickling liquid, which cures the meat, giving it its flavor and pinkish color.
Toasted buttered rosemary bread, sourdough, and fried eggs pair perfectly with corned beef hash.
The only seasoning needed for the corned beef hash is the peppercorn mixture with the corned beef brisket and some garlic. Combined with rosemary-infused breakfast potatoes, you will have all the flavor you could ever ask for.
