Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.3 - 1.5 kilogram corned silverside
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 4 dried bay leaves

Instructions

  • Remove the corned beef/silverside from its packaging and place it into the base of a slow cooker.
  • Add enough water to fully submerge the beef. Add the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and bay leaves.
  • Cover with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4-5 hours until the meat is tender.
  • Carefully remove the corned beef from the liquid and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  • Slice against the grain and serve.

Notes

Pressure Cooker Instructions: Once you have the ingredients in the pressure cooker, and the beef submerged in water, place on the lid and ensure the value is sealed. Cook on high pressure for 90 minutes and natural release for 15 minutes, before manually releasing any remaining pressure. Carefully remove the corned beef and place it on a chopping board. Cover loosely with foil and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
