"What is left over from this meat is my favourite sandwich filling of all time!! The slower and longer this cooks the better. The sauce is a wonderful accompanyment. My step-mum always served this dish with mashed potatoes and cabbage. Her family migrated to Australia from the UK in the 1950's, so I am led to believe this is very traditional. Be sure to use brown vinegar, not white."

Serves:: 8

ingredients

1 ¹⁄₂ - 2 kg corned beef silverside
8 -10 peppercorns
3 -5 whole cloves
¹⁄₄ cup vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 bay leaves
4 liters water (20 cups)
Mustard sauce
2 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
1 liter milk, warm
1 teaspoon prepared English mustard (mild, medium or hot)

directions

Place the silverside in a deep pot and cover with water (completely cover).
Add all the other ingredients and bring JUST to the boil. Turn down and simmer for 3 1/2 -4 hours.
Slice just enough for your meal, what ever is left - return to the water and place in the fridge, this keeps it moist and makes the best sandwich filling EVER!
To prepare the sauce:
In a medium sized pan melt the butter and add the flour, stir and let cook for 30-60 seconds.
Add the milk gradually stirring constantly (I like to use a whisk).
Cook over a low heat until thick and resembles custard. Add the mustard, stir through and serve with the meat.

<img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt=/ /> As a toddler, my nic-name was Pompom (my Poppy had a golf hat with a pompom and it was one of my first words, and it stuck as my nic name).  My Poppy has long since passed, but I fondly remember him every time I log on.  I'm a stay at home mum of four aged: 10, 8, 7 and almost 6. I have a severe egg allergy and am lactose intolerant, I enjoy working out ways to still enjoy food minus eggs and milk. I have been married for 14 years and have one very happy and well fed hubby. My goal is to try one new recipe a week, for the past 8 years have achieved this.  I own over 300 cookbooks, but no longer purchase them - but regularly print out recipes to try later. When I am not cooking, I am busy household of 6 and going to the gym (to work off the wonderful calories I consumed the day before) and helping at school and church. My philosophy in life is: as we have to eat, we may as well eat well.
