Slow Cooked Corned Beef

Slow cooking your Corned Beef pretty much guarantees the most tender, delicious meat that melts in your mouth as you eat it. Just put it on in the morning and come back to it in the evening ready to eat for dinner perhaps with our White Onion Sauce on top, and then if you are lucky you have leftovers to have on toast with pickles.
INGREDIENTS
Serves 4 - 8 depending on size of corned beef
Piece of corned silverside/beef
1 onion cut into 4 pieces
1 litre of water
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
liberal sprinkle of pepper
2 bay leaves
METHOD
Place the corned beef in your slow cooker.
Add the rest of the ingredients.
Cook on low for approximately 8 hours.
Serve as is or with your desired sauce eg. White Onion Sauce.
Note: If you don’t have a slow cooker you can simmer this on the stove top with a lid on for about 2 hours - results are nearly as good.

Looks epic! I love using liquid stock instead of water and for a slight kick I chuck in two birds eye chillis. Seeds included. As there is so much water the chilli doesn't over power but adds nice flavor.

[@cockylora123]

So easy! That's the way I've done it for years. The only thing I do extra is stick a few cloves in the onions for a little added flavour. Nice work.

[@christiandeininger1790]

Nice work. I'm cooking that today

[@scottfhannigan]

Exactly the way I’ve been doing it for over 20 years. I stick some cloves in the onions though. Nice job!

D: Ah, I see that the CEO of Reddens Kitchen has replied.
For non-Australians, Umina Bowlo refers to the Umina Bowling Club on the Central Coast of NSW. We go there on some Friday Nights and participate in their Meat Raffles whilst having dinner and a drink with our mates.

I cook my siver side in it's bag in slow cooker all night on loo ,, fulls apart ,, good to see how outhers do it though ,,

[@63yogi]

Thanks mate. "Umina Bolo" non Aussies will be saying what did he say LOLQuestion: should the cooker be on high temperature?

[@merrillie]

Low temp is fine. I would only use high on the slow cooker if you wanted to speed up the cooking process.

Umina Bowlo mate. Spun me out. I grew up on the Peninsula. 2257 baby

Don't forget you can throw your potatoes in peeled and cut and your carrots in as well. Some people even throw in cabbage. yummy

[@79mundra]

there's no way that's been in there for 8 hours. it should fall apart when you cut it

[@b2bconnectnow]

they do fall apart but not like lamb does? The silverside stays together! Lurrrvvely :-)

[@Fadedx0x]

I just wanted to say thank you guys for making this even though it was a while ago, I need to make one tonight and I had no idea what to do

[@merrillie]

Your welcome and how did it go?

[@Fadedx0x]

@@merrillie IT CAME OUT SO FREAKING GOOD! The mum of the household said it’s the best she’s had in years which is a major compliment and the boys were fighting over the last piece 😂

[@merrillie]

That's awesome. I love handing over the kitchen to hubby. He is retiring soon from what has been a very hectic lifestyle and we will add more videos later next year.@@Fadedx0x

[@leighc1088]

Aussie classic. Looks great! Any chance you would share your white sauce with onions recipe? Thnx

[@robertspence831]

Yum.

[@Westeross]

Gold!

[@hamwank]

Is it OK to use just raw sugar

[@merrillie]

That would be fine.

[@stdavross666]

ROGER THAT

[@dawnplayer4238]

Fat up or down plz?

[@merrillie]

I usually start with it up but then I turn it about half way through just to get the liquid all over.

[@sonofapollo5892]

Cooked on high or low??

[@merrillie]

On Low for 8 hours gives the best fall apart in the mouth experience - you can cook it on high for 4 to 5 hours though if you want it faster. Stove top for about 2 hours.

[@sonofapollo5892]

Thank you

[@cynthiajackson1889]

what does the brown sugar do?

[@merrillie]

The ingredients added to the water help to add flavour and also to balance the salty taste of corned beef.

[@KyAl2]

It tenderizes the meat.

[@sdufg]

you forgot to brine the beef (for 5-10 days). that's what makes it corned beef. you only have made slow cooked beef brisket.

[@merrillie]

Hi Kai, not sure what country you are in but in Australia we can buy it already done it is called Silverside or Corned Beef and it is ready to cook.

[@cumawama1]

is that about 1kg corn beef?

[@merrillie]

+cumawama1 yes but it probably doesn't matter how big it is as long as it fits in your slow cooker.
