Corned Silverside image

What is left over from this meat is my favourite sandwich filling of all time!! The slower and longer this cooks the better. The sauce is a wonderful accompanyment. My step-mum always served this dish with mashed potatoes and cabbage. Her family migrated to Australia from the UK in the 1950's, so I am led to believe this is very traditional. Be sure to use brown vinegar, not white.

Time 4h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2-2 kg corned beef silverside
8 -10 peppercorns
3 -5 whole cloves
1/4 cup vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 bay leaves
4 liters water (20 cups)
2 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
1 liter milk, warm
1 teaspoon prepared English mustard (mild, medium or hot)

Steps:

  • Place the silverside in a deep pot and cover with water (completely cover).
  • Add all the other ingredients and bring JUST to the boil. Turn down and simmer for 3 1/2 -4 hours.
  • Slice just enough for your meal, what ever is left - return to the water and place in the fridge, this keeps it moist and makes the best sandwich filling EVER!
  • To prepare the sauce:
  • In a medium sized pan melt the butter and add the flour, stir and let cook for 30-60 seconds.
  • Add the milk gradually stirring constantly (I like to use a whisk).
  • Cook over a low heat until thick and resembles custard. Add the mustard, stir through and serve with the meat.
