Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg silverside corned beef
- 1 large orange
- 10 pieces whole cloves
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 pieces bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 large onion
- 3 cups beef stock
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
Instructions
Rinse the silverside corned beef under cold water to remove excess brine and pat dry with paper towels.
Peel the orange and stud the rind with the whole cloves. Cut the rest of the orange into thin slices.
Peel the garlic cloves and slightly crush them. Peel and slice the onion into thick rounds.
Place the onion slices in the bottom of the slow cooker as a bed for the corned beef.
Lay the silverside corned beef on top of the onion slices in the slow cooker.
Add the clove-studded orange rind, orange slices, garlic cloves, bay leaves, and peppercorns around the corned beef.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the silverside to help balance the saltiness of the meat.
Pour the beef stock and water into the slow cooker, ensuring the liquid covers about three-quarters of the meat.
Add the mustard seeds to the liquid for added aroma and flavor.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to low heat. Let it cook for 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooking is complete, remove the silverside from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Strain the cooking liquid if you’d like to use it as a flavorful broth or light gravy to serve alongside the meat.
Slice the silverside corned beef against the grain and serve warm with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or crusty bread.
