Thread: Aussie corned beef- where have you been all my life?

Bought a joint of beef yesterday thinking it was just a normal silverside joint or something until Headworx asked where I got the corned beef from
Associating it with the canned stuff we have back in the UK I felt like I'd been ripped off

Anyway here it is...

[/IMG]

Googled how to cook it whilst rudely and impatiently awaiting HW's reply which luckily was near the same.

It was all slimey when I first took it out of the packet and washed it under the tap

Anyway, just stick it in a pot with water covering it and add a quarter of a cup of malt vinegar, 2 big tablespoons of brown sugar, an onion sliced in two, some garlic clothes and 3 bay leaves.


Then go do some exercise or go the pub for a couple of hours, come back... and to be honest it didn't look too good (a dull greyish colour)
But cut into it...


Tender as hell


Now to get some bread and pickles


Its a little salty but perfect with it and really tender. Pisses all over that stuff in a can.

How do you Aussies or Yanks eat this stuff?
I'm guessing i'll be needing some rye and gherkins?

Where'd you buy that ?

Eat with mashed spuds, brussell sprouts and cheese sauce.

One of my mum's staple dishes she made us as a kid and then always corned beef sangers the next day for school lunch.

Love corn beef but brussell sprouts can fuck right off.

Corned beef, mash potatoe, cabbage, white sauce.

The following day is Corned beef and sweet mustard pickles samidges.

Very very hard to beat

Corned beef and cabbage....very traditional dish in the US.

Dillinger
If you the salty taste is too much then when you are cooking it put in some potatoes they will take the salt out.
Make a white sauce, you can put in onions or cheese to have with it.
When you have in sandwiches add some pickles (not Dill pickles).
I love the stuff.

Whats all this talk of white sauce?

That'll go nice with some mashed potatoes and gravy

Nice presentation 9/10, did you eat the tomato?

I reckon we ate it weekly. Love it. Fight over the fatty outside bits while they are still got and delicious.

^Mentioned that to Dill in a PM, the fat was the icing on the cake so to speak but these have most of it trimmed off (I bought one today too).

Anyone tried corner need hash?

Excellent,will grab a few on the weekend... used to make my own but that eventually fell by the way side.

Salt beef or rye, Dilly - that's the go!

Take a step back Dilly.

Grab an extra thick sliced seeded bloomer, bit (loads) of Lurpak, some (loads) of that sweet sweet meat and some (loads) Branston.

Job done.

Butter? A good mustard will bring out the taste of the meat so well as to make angel shit its frock.

that looks very nice

Corned beef, roast spud, white or cheese sauce plus any vege you like is the go for.
Love it.
Superb lean meat, a couple of cloves, some basil, onions, black pepper corns, a spoonful of treacle, honey or molasses, a few cloves of garlic, splendid stuff.

Perhaps in the preparation/cooking of the beef?

You add it to the water you're boiling the beef in. Trust me it's worth trying.

You will not regret it, I didn't know Corned Beef could be that tender.

I'd rate it a 10 but they've trimmed almost all of the fat off, so it gets a 9.5 score from me.

You have missed out big time if you have never had a bloomer.
