  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. mustard
  • 1/8 cup vinegar
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1/4 cup catsup
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 stick margarine
  • 1/2 tsp. salt

  5. Cook slowly on low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider marinating the stew beef in the mustard and vinegar for a few hours before cooking. You can substitute the brown sugar with honey or maple syrup for a different sweetness. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or some chopped jalapeños. This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated for a quick meal, similar to Grandma Babe'S Meat Loaf.

Serving Suggestions

Serve Barbecue Beef Hash over a bed of mashed potatoes or with crusty bread for a hearty meal. It pairs beautifully with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for balance. You might also consider serving it alongside Mocked Cabbage Rolls for a comforting dinner spread that showcases delicious beef recipes.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm the hash in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of broth to keep it moist, or microwave in short intervals, stirring in between until heated through. This method preserves the flavors without drying it out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?

Yes, you can use other cuts of beef such as chuck roast or brisket, but the cooking time may vary. Ensure the beef is tender before mincing, as tougher cuts may require longer cooking times. Just adjust the broth and cooking method accordingly.

Is it possible to make this dish in a slow cooker?

Absolutely! You can brown the beef first on the stovetop, then transfer it to a slow cooker with all the ingredients. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the beef is tender. This method allows for deep flavor infusion.

Can I freeze leftovers of Barbecue Beef Hash?
