Thermomix Corned Beef or Thermomix Silverside?
I had no idea what to call this recipe? I grew up hearing the name silverside. Although I’ve always called it corn beef. I think the correct name may be corned beef as it refers to the preparation process? For the purpose of today, I am making Thermomix corned beef.
The first time I made corn beef in the Thermomix it was a revelation! Steaming the beef in the Varoma keeps so much more moisture in the meat. The result was a delicious, “melt in the mouth,” piece of corn beef.
When you’re selecting the meat to make a Thermomix corn beef, it’s important to choose a fairly consistent, rectangular shaped cut. I usually choose meat which is 1.7kgs, or thereabouts. This size piece of meat allows the steam to circulate well ensuring an even cook.
Whilst the corned beef was cooking I also added some new, baby potatoes to the internal steaming basket. The potatoes were added in the last 45 minutes, and they cooked perfectly. Allowing the water from the corned beef to cook the potatoes resulted in some rather delicious spuds!

Leftover Corned Beef is delicious on sandwiches with this delicious homemade Choko Pickles.

Or you could make this delicious Corned Beef & Cabbage Soup. It’s Keto friendly and a low-calorie winter warmer.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering, silverside refers to a description of the cut of meat used for corned beef in Australia. That’s why we quite often call it silverside.

I have a piece of corn meat that is only 1180g .. how long do I cook for ??
Hi Amanda
It will still take most of the cook time. Just check it 20minutes before the end. If you can tear the meat in half with a fork it’s done ????????
Congratulations. This recipe is terrific. We have just finished our very first “thermomixed” corned beef with creamy mustard sauce and the compliments are still coming thick and fast.
???????????? Thank you so much for your lovely feedback???? Im so pleased you enjoyed the recipe. I love this one too, so easy in the Thermomix ????????
This recipe was a winner! The meat was tender, sauce delicious. I put potatoes in the last 45 mins as suggested and as sauce was cooking made old fashioned mash with the cooked spuds. Definitely a go to meal.
I’m so pleased you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for coming back and leaving a comment 🙂
What temperature
Hi Angela, the corn beef is cooked at varoma temperature which is the maximum temp.
Just wondering how many potatoes you woul put in?
Probably 2 or three chopped up depending on the size of the potatoes. 🙂
Delicious!! And super easy in the thermomix. Thank you
Hi Sekai
I’m so pleased you enjoyed the recipe. Thank you so much for your kind comments.

Hi, I’m cooking one to be used for cold meat only (no sauce) should I add anything to the water to flavour the meat?
Hi Amanda
Thanks for messaging.
The meat is cooked in the Varoma and is only steamed. So it would be a waste to add any flavours to the water if you arent making a sauce.
Happy Cooking
