Description

This Smoked Brisket Hash is a hearty, flavorful dish perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. Combining tender smoked brisket with sautéed potatoes, onions, and red bell peppers, it offers a satisfying balance of smoky, savory, and slightly spicy flavors. Easy to prepare in one skillet, this recipe is ideal for utilizing leftover brisket or making a comforting meal any time of day.


Ingredients

Brisket and Vegetables

  • 1 lb smoked brisket, cubed or chopped
  • 1 lb potatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Seasonings and Oil

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Dash of cayenne pepper


Instructions

  1. Heat Oil and Cook Potatoes: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the diced potatoes, then season with kosher salt, black pepper, and a dash of cayenne pepper. Toss to coat and cook for 5-7 minutes until the potatoes start to brown and develop a crispy exterior.
  2. Sauté Onions and Peppers: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir frequently and cook for about 5 minutes until the onions become translucent and the peppers soften, blending their flavors with the potatoes.
  3. Add and Sear Brisket: Increase the heat back to medium-high. Add the chopped smoked brisket to the skillet. Stir everything together, then press the mixture down to sear the meat. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the underside develops a good sear, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to sear the other side. This step enhances the flavor and texture of the brisket within the hash.
  4. Finish and Serve: Once the brisket is well-seared and the vegetables are tender, remove the skillet from the heat. Optionally sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the hash for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm, on its own or paired with eggs for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use leftover smoked brisket for best flavor and texture, but freshly smoked brisket works well too.
  • Ensure potatoes are diced evenly for uniform cooking.
  • Adjust cayenne pepper amount to your preferred spice level.
  • For a richer taste, consider adding a little butter during the final cooking stage.
  • This hash can be served alongside eggs, toast, or fresh greens for a balanced breakfast or brunch.
