Slow cooked silverside with vegetables and gravy served on a plate.

The main difference between corned and fresh silverside is corned has been cured in a seasoned brine or pickle. This does add extra flavour and gives it a good texture as well.

You will mostly find corned silverside at the shops, but I have gotten fresh silverside when buying part of a cow.

3. Add apple cider vinegar, bay leaves and about 3 cups of water. You want your silverside mostly covered with water.

4. Slow cook it for about 8 hours on low. I turn mine about halfway through.

5. Take out of the slow cooker and slice and serve with vegetables on the side.

For The Sauce

Once the silverside is done take 2 cups of liquid out of the slow cooker and place into a small pot.
Add Mustard, salt to taste and tapioca flour.
Whisk until it thickens into a creamy sauce and serve on top of vegetables and silverside.

How to Store Silverside

Allow silverside to completely cool and you can keep whole or slice, so it fits into an airtight container. Place this container in the fridge and it will stay good for about 4-5 days.

You can also freeze silverside. Allow it to completely cool and wrap the silverside in aluminium foil then place into a ziploc freezer bag.

It can be stored in the freezer for about 2 months. Take it out of the freezer and place in the fridge to allow it to defrost and reheat in the oven when ready to eat.
