Traditional Hash Recipe
Filed under Beef, Main Course, Quick, Wheat-free
Preparation time: 30 minutes.
Hash is a great way to use up leftover cooked meat. We tend to use roast beef, but leftover pot roast or other meats could easily be used. What is essential to making hash is
an old fashioned meat grinder.
potatoes, peeled and quartered
yellow onion, peeled and quartered
cooked beef
grapeseed oil or olive oil
salt and pepper
ketchup
Take beef, potatoes, and onions in approximately equal proportions and put them through a meat grinder using the medium grinder attachment so that they are well mixed and ground.
Heat a large fry pan - preferably a cast iron pan - on medium high to high heat. Add the hash to the frying pan so that a half an inch of hash covers the bottom of the pan. If you have more hash to cook, do so in separate batches. Add several tablespoons of oil. Brown the hash, stirring only infrequently at first to make sure that the hash has an opportunity to brown well. As you cook the hash, add pinches of salt and fresh ground pepper. Do this a couple of times with each batch of hash. Cook for at least 10 minutes and until the hash is well browned.
Serve immediately with
ketchup.
Notes:Old fashioned cast iron meat grinders are easy to find and cheap to buy on
