Silverside
Also called Corned Beef
Ingredients
-
1 Silverside Roast (Beef)
-
2 Onions – Halved
-
4 Smashed Garlic Gloves
-
1tsp Mustard Powder
-
¼ Cup Brown Sugar
-
¼ Cup Vinegar (any type)
-
2 – 4 Bay leaves
-
Stock and water combine – enough to cover the beef (approximately 2 -3 litres of fluid)
Optional Additions for flavour
-
1-2 Citrus Fruits, halved (Lime, lemon or Orange)
-
1 large carrot roughly chopped
-
1 large Beetroot – halved
Method
-
In a slow cooker, sit the silverside beef on top of the onions and garlic. Then add in your spices, bay leaves and sugar, along with your chosen vegetables and fruit.
-
Add on your vinegar, stock and water, making sure the beef sits just underneath the water level.
-
Turn your slow cooker on low and cook for 6+ hours, depending on the size of the beef. Once cooked it should be tender and able to fall apart.
-
Remove the beef from the liquid and wrap in AL-foil, allowing to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
-
Serve with vegetables or a salad, or simply have a silverside sandwich. Some people choose to serve silverside with a white sauce (recipe below)
White Sauce Recipe
-
½ brown onion, diced
-
250 mls milk of choice
-
2 Tblsp plain flour (Regular or GF)
-
1 Tblsp Butter (Nuttelex)
-
1 tsp Mustard Powder
-
Salt and pepper to taste
Method
-
In a small saucepan or fry pan heat up the butter until melted and saute the onion in the butter.
-
Once clear, add in the mustard powder and plain flour to make a roux. Add in the milk, ¼ cup at a time, allowing the milk and flour to thicken.
-
Once all the milk has been combined, the mixture should be thick and pour easily. Add your salt and pepper to taste.
Note: You can test this by dipping the back of a spoon in the sauce, run your finger down the mild of the spoon and turn it on its side. If the sauce stays, it is the correct thickness.
