• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 30 minutes
• total time: 5 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 ½ to 2 kg piece corned silverside

3 bay leaves

2 Tbsp brown sugar

2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp peppercorns

1 onion, quartered

1 egg

1 ½ Tbsp brown sugar

1 Tbsp flour

2 tsp mustard

2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 cup corned beef cooking liquid

Directions

Place the corned silverside in the bowl of a slow cooker. Fill with boiling water to cover the meat.

Add the bay leaves, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, peppercorns, and quartered onion.

Cook on high for 4 to 4 1/2 hours or on low for 8+ hours.

Towards the end of the cooking time, scoop out 1 cup of the cooking liquid to make the mustard sauce.

In a small saucepan, whisk together the egg and brown sugar. Add the flour, mustard, and apple cider vinegar, and mix to combine.

Place the saucepan on low heat and cook, stirring continuously until the sauce starts to thicken.

Gradually add the cooking liquid, about a third of a cup at a time, whisking as you go, until the sauce has thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Once the corned beef is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Slice the corned beef and serve with mashed potatoes, seasonal greens, and the mustard sauce.
