Red Eye Hash Recipes

ROAST BEEF HASH

Steps:

• In large skillet, cook onion in butter until tender crisp.
• Add remaining ingredients except milk and gravy.
• Whisk milk and gravy together until smooth.
• Add to skillet.
• (If there is no leftover gravy, just increase milk to 1 1/2 cups.) Stir all together and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for approximately 20 minutes or until potatoes are done.
• The liquid should be absorbed.

RED-EYE HASH

Steps:

• Peel and grate beets and potatoes.
• Put butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add onion and ham, and cook until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the beets and potatoes and cook until tender, 15 minutes; remove from skillet.
• Deglaze skillet with coffee and cream. Spoon over the vegetables. Garnish with scallions.

RED FLANNEL HASH

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, and cool.
• Run potatoes and beets through a ricer, or through a food processor with a grater attachment. Stir in salt and pepper.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potato and beet mixture, and pat down evenly. Fry until heated through, and browned on the bottom. Serve with more butter and red wine vinegar to taste.

OVER EASY HAM STEAK WITH RED-EYE GRAVY

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over moderate heat, melt the butter. Add chicken and brown skin side down. Turn over and add chopped onion. Cook until soft and starting to color about 6 to 8 minutes. Cover with chicken stock, and add the coffee and brown sugar, if using. Reduce heat to medium and cook the red eye gravy until thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 2 to 4 hours. Strain stock into a large bowl and reserve. The chicken can be used for another recipe or discarded.
• Preheat a large heavy bottomed frying pan over medium-high heat. Season ham steaks with black pepper and add to the hot skillet. Cook until golden brown on each side, 6 to 8 minutes and transfer to serving plates.
• In the same skillet, once steaks have been removed, reduce heat to medium and fry the eggs to desired doneness.
• Cover the steaks with red-eye gravy and crown with a fried egg. This dish can be served with potatoes, hash browns or biscuits, if desired.

BAKED POTATOES WITH RIB-EYE STEAK HASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Rub potatoes with olive oil; sprinkle with coarse salt. Place on baking sheet. Pierce with fork. Bake until tender, about 1 hour.
• Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and sear until brown but still very rare, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer steak to plate. Reduce heat to medium. Add bell peppers, onion, and jalapeños to skillet. Sauté until peppers are soft and onion caramelizes, about 30 minutes.
• Cut steak crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Halve slices lengthwise into strips. Add cream, chopped marjoram, and steak to pepper mixture. Simmer until steak is heated through and cream thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cut cross in potatoes and press on sides to open slightly. Add salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon butter to each and mash slightly with fork. Top each with steak mixture. Garnish with marjoram.
