Morphology
The dish name is a straightforward composition: 'corned' (brined/seasoned) modifies 'beef', and 'hash' denotes a fried mixture of meat and potatoes, so the overall meaning (a fried mixture of corned beef, potatoes, and onions) is directly derivable from the parts. This culinary naming pattern is common and predictable cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Corned beef hash is named for the salted meat corned beef and the word hash, which means food that is chopped up and mixed. People often fried leftovers of meat and potatoes together, so today it means 'a fried mix of chopped corned beef, potatoes, and onions'.
