Should I add liquid to the slow cooker?

You do not need to add liquid to the slow cooker when making silverside in foil. The wrapped foil retains moisture, keeping the meat tender and juicy. Adding liquid can dilute the flavors, but if you prefer, you can add a small amount of broth or beer for a different taste.

Recipe Tips

• Rinse thoroughly: Rinse the corned silverside thoroughly under cold water before cooking to remove any excess brine and ensure a milder flavor in the finished dish.
• Wrap tightly: When wrapping the silverside in baking paper and foil, make sure to seal it tightly to lock in moisture and enhance the tenderness of the meat.
• Cook on low: Always cook the silverside on the LOW setting of your slow cooker for a longer period to achieve the best texture and prevent the meat from becoming tough.
• Rest before slicing: After cooking, let the silverside rest for about 10 minutes while you prepare the sides. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat juicier when sliced.
• Slice against the grain: When you’re ready to serve, slice the silverside against the grain to ensure each piece is tender and easy to chew, enhancing the overall eating experience.

Recipe Variations

• Spiced silverside: For an added flavor boost, you can add a spice rub to the silverside before wrapping it. A mixture of mustard seeds, black pepper, and coriander seeds can add a delightful kick.
• Honey-glazed: Try brushing the silverside with a mixture of honey and mustard before wrapping it. This will create a delicious glaze that adds sweetness and tanginess to the savory meat.
• Vegetable bed: Place the wrapped silverside on a bed of root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and onions in the slow cooker. The vegetables will absorb the meat’s flavors and make a complete one-pot meal.
• Beer-braised: Instead of cooking the silverside dry, pour a bottle of your favorite beer into the slow cooker. The beer adds depth and richness to the meat’s flavor, making it even more savory.
• Garlic and herbs: For a fragrant variation, add whole garlic cloves and fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme to the wrapping before sealing the silverside. These aromatics infuse the meat with a delightful herbal flavor.

What To Serve With Silverside

Serve your Slow Cooker Silverside with vibrant sides like Vegetarian Lasagne, creamy mashed sweet potatoes, Fresh Green Beans, balsamic glazed carrots, and tangy coleslaw. You can also pair it with Slow Cooker Chips or a hearty beetroot and feta salad for an extra touch of flavor.
