    Puerto Rican Corned Beef Hash

    Corned beef hash is a cheap yet tasty meal option for those on a budget. Puerto Rican corned beef hash also known as carne bif is a popular dish in Puerto Rico with simple ingredients and bold flavors!

    Puerto Rican corned beef hash also known as carne bif is inexpensive, uses common ingredients in Latin households, and can be made in no time. We don't have to sacrifice flavor when trying to save money!

    What is corn beef hash?

    Corn beef hash is a plate of finely chopped cooked corned beef hash canned (canned corn beef), diced potatoes, spices, and in this Puerto Rican corned beef hash recipe there is an addition of corn and a lot of people like adding fried french fries.

    How To Make Puerto Rican Corned Beef Hash 

    To make this Puerto Rican corned beef hash, you're going to need a little bit of olive oil, sofrito, dried oregano, pepper, diced potatoes, corn, 2 cans of corned beef, and tomato sauce. If you want color, feel free to add a packet of sazon or some Bijol coloring seasoning. Taste for salt at the end, but you most likely won't need it. 

    Heat your pan over medium high, warm olive oil, add your sofrito, spices, and tomato sauce. Add in your corned beef and break it down once it is in. I like to mix it all together until the corned beef starts to look more like picadillo before adding in the potatoes and corn. 

    This Puerto Rican corned beef hash will not be like a stew where it's soupy. It is soft and hash like. 

    Speeding up the process of making corned beef hash with potatoes can be done by boiling your potatoes separately before hand and adding it in at this point, or just making sure your potatoes are chopped finely. If you're not in a rush, let all of these ingredients cook through by adding in a tablespoon or two of water and lowering your heat to medium and cover the pan and allow corned beef hash to cook through until potatoes are fork tender.

    Serving this Puerto Rican corned beef hash with french fries added at the end is very common in Puerto Rico, but I decided to fry some platano maduros and serve this corned beef hash over a bed of white rice. I feel that I should make a different version of this Puerto Rican corned beef with french fries, what do you think?

      This recipe looks amazing. How would you do the measurements for 1 can of corn beef.

        Hi Erica,
        For one can, I would just halve the other ingredients?

      My mom used to make this before she passed away and I thought I would never have it again!!!
      I just made it with 1 can and halved the ingredients accordingly.
      It came out perfect!

      I grew up In New York and my mom made Carne Beef regularly. A true Puerto Rican staple. My mom made it with french fries and even made alcapurias with carne beef. 1 can goes a long way. It’s a delicious and inexpensive meal. Too bad it’s salty and fatty.

        French fries seems to be a classic with carne bif. It's true how it's salty and fatty. Thankfully, everything in moderation!

        I remedy the salt issue by soaking the corn beef in a bowl of water after removing it from the can. It helps a lot and some of the grease comes out as well.

      Turned out nice. A new take on canned corned beef. I added cilantro, onions, cowboy jalapeños, and garlic in lieu of sofrito. Was surprised at two starches with both rice and potatos but it was delicious together—-especially the beef and rice. Thank you for sharing this recipe with the World. 🍴💝
