Savory corned beef pairs perfectly with creamy mashed potatoes, veggies, and tangy mustard or as a tasty sandwich with relish or pickles.
Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 kg corned beef silverside, fat trimmed, rinsed
  • 32.00 gm brown sugar
  • 40.00 ml white wine vinegar
  • 2 fresh bay leaves
  • 6 cloves
  • 12 whole black peppercorns
  • 6 pickling onions, peeled
  • 2 bunches baby carrots, trimmed, peeled
  • 1 small red cabbage, cut into wedges
  • 18.20 gm olive oil
  • 50g butter, cubed
  • 40.00 ml plain flour
  • 60ml cream
  • 46.80 gm wholegrain mustard
  • 40.00 ml finely chopped chives
  • Steamed sugar snaps, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C (160C fan-forced) and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  • In a large saucepan, combine corned beef, sugar, vinegar, bay leaves, cloves, peppercorns, onions, and season with salt. Cover with cold water.
  • Simmer the mixture on low heat, partially covered, for 1 1/2 hours until the beef is firm. Add carrots for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Set beef aside to cool, strain liquid into a bowl, and reserve onions.
  • Place the cabbage on the baking tray, drizzle with oil, season well, and toss to coat. Roast for 25 minutes or until the cabbage is tender.
  • In a saucepan, melt butter over gentle heat until it starts to bubble. Add flour, stir, then take off heat. Slowly whisk in 2 cups of cooking liquid. Put back on heat and stir until the sauce boils and thickens. Pour in cream and bring to a boil. Mix in mustard and half of the chives. Season to your liking.
  • Thinly slice the beef against the grain. Serve it with a delicious mustard sauce, onions, carrots, cabbage, and sugar snap peas. Finish it off by sprinkling the remaining chives on top.
