Corned Beef

A very economical dish, excellent hot with boiled potatoes or cold in a sandwich with pickle or chutney. Goes well with our Edmonds mustard sauce.

Ingredients

1.5–2kg corned silverside
1 onion, peeled, halved and stuck with 6 cloves
1 Tbsp malt vinegar
10 black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
2–3 sprigs each of parsley and thyme
2 Tbsp Chelsea Brown Sugar or Chelsea Golden Syrup
Mustard Sauce (optional)

Method

Put all the ingredients into a large saucepan and cover with cold water.
Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, for 30 minutes per 500 grams of meat or until the meat is tender when tested with a fine skewer.
Let the meat sit in its liquid for 20 minutes before slicing thickly to serve. If you want to serve the meat cold, let it cool in the liquid then remove and slice thinly. Reserve 1 cup of the liquid if you intend to make Mustard Sauce.
Serve hot with Mustard Sauce or as a cold cut with salad or in a sandwich.

Delicious. Made it recently for my brother's when they came for lunch. Family fav growing up. Tasted exactly how I remembered mum and dad making it. Love Edmonds for cooking.
