How to Make Corned Beef Brown Sauce

Add brown sauce to amplify the taste of corned beef hash.

Make corned beef hash from a combination of lean meat, meat fat and potatoes. Contrary to the name of the dish, corn is not part of it. Rather, the term corn comes from the curing method. To heighten the taste of the corned beef, it can be topped with a brown sauce, made from brown stock. Brown stock can be purchased pre-made, or can be made from beef stock or soup.

• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/5 tsp pepper
• 1 cup brown stock
