    Thermomix Corned Beef or Thermomix Silverside

    Is it Corned Beef or 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.

    Choosing the best piece of meat

    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.

    Thermomix Trivet in the Varoma

    Steaming Trivet

    This trivet fits neatly inside your deep Varoma dish to ensure good steam circulation whilst cooking. It also increases the base size and allows more food to be cooked in the larger Varoma dish.
    For more information take a look at the Mixshop Trivet

    Adding some Vegetables

    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!

    In the last 4 - 5 minutes of cooking time you can also through some broccoli or cauliflower in with the corned meat for a complete meal.

    What to Do With Leftover Corned Beef

    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.

        Hi Michelle
        Thank you for you lovely comment, I’m so pleased you enjoyed the recipe. Each oven is a little different. I use 200 for a conventional bake. Fan forced is about 10degrees cooler. In all honesty I just look and when they look done I take them out 🤣🤣
        I hope that helps xxx

        Hi Lilly
        Yes, the extra silverside can be sliced and stored in zip lock bags with the air removed. It’s a great way to always have sandwich meat on hand.

      By internal steamer do you mean in the varoma or in the thermo bowl? In the middle of cooking right now!

        Hi Pheobe
        Yes you can do a smaller piece of meat but don't reduce the cooking time by half. Just take about 15 minutes off the total time.

        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.

      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.

        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 ????????
