Ingredients
- 1.2 to 1.5 kg corned silverside
- 1 onion, peeled and quartered
- 2 carrots, roughly chopped
- 2–3 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons vinegar (malt or apple cider)
- 1 tablespoon whole peppercorns
- 4–6 whole cloves
- Water, to cover the meat
- Optional: 1 teaspoon mustard seeds or a dash of Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Place the silverside into the slow cooker.
- Add onion, carrots, bay leaves, peppercorns, cloves, and brown sugar.
- Pour vinegar over the top, then add enough water to just cover the meat.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours, or until tender.
- Once cooked, remove meat and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm with mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, or white sauce.
Notes
- For added depth, swap some water with beef stock.

- Don’t boil corned beef directly—slow cooking ensures it's tender and flavorful.
- Skim foam if needed after a few hours of cooking.
