Directions
Best Corned Beef/ Silverside on the Planet , I didn’t post this family recipe here earlier because I thought that everyone made corned beef/silverside like I did LOL Now I did a search to look for duplicates and found none! WELL folks, you gotta try this this is to die for get ready to drool In fact, if your pieces of beef are smaller, do two and pop them both in the pot at once 🙂 NOTE: for more information on a question raised especially for this recipe please see topic: recipezaar com/bb/viewtopic zsp?p=4408769#4408769, My mums recipe from her farm days Place piece of silverside/brisket in large pot add water so that meat is covered Add half cup vinegar, 5 cloves, 2 bay leaves, carrot, 1 onion peeled, tablespoon of brown sugar Bring slowly to boil, boil for 20 minutes then remove from stove place on wooden cutting board which is covered with heavy towels or blankets Proceed to wrap pot up completely and leave for 8 hours When time for night meal remove from wrapping take out of pot and crave to your liking BE CAREFUL AS POT IS STILL VERY HOT Left over meat put back into water and left there to go cold, doing this meat becomes very moist and is delicious This method of cooking saves on gas/ electricity Sauce: 2 tablespoons of sugar 1 desert spoon of butter 6 tablespoons (or what you require) of corned water 3 tablespoons of vinegar (or what you require) 1 teaspoon mustard (or what your taste requirements are) place all ingredients into saucepan along with a well beaton egg or two depending on how much sauce you require DO NOT BOIL ENJOY, The main photo is not particularly appealing but let me tell you- this is really is the best silverside recipe I have used used a lot fewer whole cloves though- only about 12 Four or five on each of the 3 sides and couple at the ends Was plenty Recipe was the same otherwise- squeezed the oranges then put them in as well as the golden syrup Cooked about 3 hours Served with freshly made white sauce which is super easy- give it a go Sprinkle over freshly chopped Italian parsley, boiled potatoes, carrots and peas You will be queen or king of the kitchen!

Steps
|
1
Done
|
Take the Corned Beef/Silverside Out of the Plastic Wrapping and Wash It Off in Cold Water. (makes It Less Slippery and Easier to Handle). |
|
2
Done
|
Take the Whole Cloves and Stick the Little Spike Part of Each Clove Well Into the Meat. (sometimes You Need to Make a Little Hole Into the Meat With the Point of a Veggie Knife in Order to Get It In). Stud the Entire Piece of Meat Evenly With Cloves, Using More Than 40 of Them If Necessary). |

3
Done
|
Put the Golden Syrup Into the Bottom of a Large Tall Saucepan (use a Big Soup Pot). |
|
4
Done
|
Put the Meat Into the Pot, Add the Bay Leaf and Pepper, Halve the Oranges and Squeeze Them to Get Some Juice Out Over the Meat, Drop the Squeezed Oranges Into the Pot as Well. |
|
5
Done
|
Cover With Water and Simmer For 1.5 to 2.5 Hours Depending on How Big the Piece of Meat Is -- Even a Small Bit Does Really Well on Low For 1.5-2 Hours. Top Up the Water If Necessary. |
|
6
Done
|
Take Out and Rest the Meat For 10 Minutes. Pick Out What Cloves You Can (they Are Really There For Flavour, not to Be Eaten) Cut Across the Grain. (if You Do It the Wrong Way Your "slice" of Meat Will Fall Into 1000 Tiny Pieces So Just Turn the Meat Around and Cut at Right Angles to Your First Cut If That Happens.). |
