Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked roast beef, diced
- 1 cup wild mushrooms, sliced
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 cups potatoes, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by dicing the roast beef into small, uniform cubes and ensuring potatoes are cut into similar-sized pieces to promote even cooking.
- Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers and appears slightly rippled.
- Add diced onions to the skillet and sauté until they become translucent and begin to develop a light golden color, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Introduce the diced potatoes to the skillet, spreading them in a single layer to ensure maximum surface contact for crispy browning. Cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes to develop a golden crust.
- Gently stir the potatoes and onions, allowing each side to brown and create a crispy exterior. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Add sliced wild mushrooms to the skillet, allowing them to release their moisture and develop a rich, caramelized flavor, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Incorporate the pre-cooked diced roast beef into the mixture, stirring gently to combine and heat through evenly.
- Continue cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the hash to develop a crispy, golden-brown texture and all ingredients to meld together.
- Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates, garnishing generously with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately while hot, optionally accompanied by a fried egg or toast for a complete meal.
Tips
- • Use a cast-iron skillet for the best heat distribution and crispy texture • Cut ingredients into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking • Don't rush the browning process—let each ingredient develop a golden crust • Season generously and taste as you go • For extra richness, consider adding a splash of beef broth or a pat of butter • A fried egg on top can transform this hash into a complete meal • Fresh herbs like parsley are not just garnish—they add a bright, fresh flavor contrast • Leftover roast beef works best, as it's already tender and full of flavor • Let the skillet get hot before adding ingredients to achieve that perfect crispy exterior
