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.

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.
