How To Make Canned Corned Beef Hash Crispy?
Canned Corned Beef Hash – What Is it & How It’s Made?
The canned corned beef is the outcome of World War II because the rations were pretty low. Ever since then, canned beef has become popular and it’s the easiest way of gaining more nutrition. Not to forget, it makes a delicious breakfast. For making the corned beef hash, you have to add your desired seasonings and spices on top of the canned beef. If you don’t have canned corned beef, you will need to season and spice the meat on your own and it has to be cooked for at least seven hours.
In addition, cutting the meat with a knife will help determine the doneness of the meat. On the other hand, if you want to make the canned corned beef hash crispier, there are certain tips that you can follow, such as;
- Set the medium heat setting of the stovetop and heat your skillet. Keep in mind that the skillet has to be hot and pre-heated before you add the corned beef
- Now, add butter into the skillet and let it meltdown
- Add the canned corned beef to the skillet and do spread out the beef evenly to make sure the entire surface gets crispy. Once you add the beef, wait for some time and use a spoon to check if the crust is crispy enough. If the meat isn’t crispy enough, you can let it crisp for some more minutes
- Lastly, flip the beef on the other side to ensure the other side gets crispy as well (be gentle while flipping the beef to ensure the crispy crust doesn’t break)
At this point, it’s safe to say that crisping the beef is pretty easy because you just have to fry it in butter in a hot pan. In addition to butter, you can add some Worcestershire sauce because it will enhance the flavor of your beef without damaging or softening the crust. Other than crisping, you should make the canned corned beef with paprika, salt, pepper, red pepper, onion, and potatoes to make a full meal (adding all these ingredients will improve the flavor and nutrition).
If you have to fry the beef later for creating a crisp crust, it’s best that you sear the beef at medium-high temperature for a few minutes. This is because the canned corned beef is already pre-cooked and too much cooking may harden the meat. All in all, when you are making the canned corned beef hash crispy, make sure that you use a nonstick skillet to make sure beef doesn’t stick to the surface (if it sticks, the crispy crust will be damaged).
