Got some leftover brisket… Well, here you go. What I love about this hash recipe is that it can be made with whatever you have on hand. I happened to have some leftover brisket, but it will work with ham, chicken, or use more veggies and make it vegetarian. In addition, I wanted something that was easy to put together, and didn’t require a lot of time tossing and sautéing. I’m making this in a small cast-iron skillet and it will feed two “normal” people, or one hungry person. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make breakfast brunch essentials: easy brisket hash

  • Step 1
    PREP/PREPARE

    Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).

    Add the brisket, potatoes, onion, tomato, and egg to a small bowl, and thoroughly combine.
  • Step 4
    Season with salt, and pepper, to taste.
  • Step 5
    Add the grapeseed oil to a small cast-iron pan, or skillet over medium heat.
  • Step 6
    Add the mixed ingredients to the pan, and spread out evenly.
  • Step 7
    Let the pan sit over medium heat for 5 – 6 minutes without moving the pan.
  • Step 8
    Chef’s Note: This will help to develop a nice crust on the bottom.
  • Step 9
    Reduce the heat to medium-low, flip the hash over, and allow to cook for an additional 4 - 5 minutes.

    Chef's Note: The hardest part of this recipe is flipping the hash over... it takes a bit of practice. If it breaks up during the flipping, no worries, just serve it up as a "rustic" dish.

    Chef’s Note: By the end of the cooking time, the potatoes should be nice and tender.
  • Step 12
    PLATE/PRESENT
