Instructions
 

COOK THE CORNED BEEF BRISKET

  • Rinse the brisket several times under cool water to wash off the excess salt. Don't worry about washing off the flavor, the flavor is already infused during the curing process (see NOTE #1).
  • Place the brisket in a stockpot and fill it with water. Add onion, carrot, celery, and peppercorn. Sometimes the brisket comes with a separate packet with spices. (see NOTE #2).
  • Turn the stovetop on medium heat, and when the water boil, lower the heat, cover and slowly simmer for 1 to 2 hours or until tender. Check and skim the top to remove excess fat and scum (see NOTE #3).
  • When done cooking, let cool and shred or use a knife and cut into bite-size pieces. Save the broth and use it for making soup later.

ROAST THE POTATOES

  • Meantime, while the brisket is cooking, preheat the oven to 425ºF and line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Place the potatoes in a prepared pan. Drizzle oil, add garlic, 21 Seasoning Salute, rosemary, salt, and red chili pepper flakes. Toss to coat. Spread the potatoes in a single layer for even roasting (see NOTE #4).
  • Roast for 20-30 minutes or until fork tender. Set them aside.

FINISH COOKING THE HASH

  • Heat a skillet with oil. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, then continue sauteing until tender. Stir in the bell pepper and season with 21 Seasoning Salute, and stir to combine.
  • Add the cooked corned beef brisket and roasted potatoes to the pan, stir, and cook until well heated. Garnish with parsley.

Notes

NOTE #1 - For a quicker and faster cooking time you can buy canned corned beef. If you want to skip roasting the potatoes, you have the option to cook them in the pan. Saute the onion, add the bell pepper, season, add the potatoes, combine, and cover the pan, cook until the potatoes are tender. Then add the canned corned beef. And you're done. Make sure to taste and adjust the salt. Canned corned beef has a lot of salt too. 
NOTE #2 - When cooking the brisket on a stovetop, make sure to check from time to time to skim the top and remove the excess fat. You can also use a slow cooker and cook your brisket for 4 hours on high and 8 hours on low. Or use an Instant Pot (see instructions for pressure cooker) and pressure cook for 30-40 minutes. 
NOTE #3 - Some corned beef brisket comes with a separate packet of spices, like juniper berries, fennel seeds, celery seeds, etc. Add them to the pot, they add extra flavor to your broth. 
NOTE #4 - 21 Seasoning Salute is available at any major grocery store. It's versatile, you can use it for soups, scrambled eggs, stir-fry, etc. It has 21 dried herbs in one bottle, which is pretty much everything you need to spice up your dish.
