The only way to do Silverside in my opinion. I also add garlic cloves and bay leaves to it and if I’m feeling extra special a tin of Beets.

Delicious! I usually use ginger beer and flip it over halfway through.
Goes well with a honey mustard white sauce

Simple no fuss recipe! Delivers tasty tender meat with subtle hit of ginger. I used ginger ale option.

After years of doing the whole vinegar, onions etc thing I cooked this today in my slow cooker. It was so easy and tender and delicious. I used ginger ale and couldn’t taste it. And so easy with only just two ingredients. My husband is fussy and he really enjoyed it.

My husband absolutely loves ginger beer silverside! I’ve just put mine on for tea, and will cook on High for 2 hours then 3 hours on Low, because I’m running a bit late. Going to experiment with putting in carrots, onion and garlic for the last 3 hours.

This was an absolute hit!!! As beef cattle producers corn meat is something we cook all the time. I decided to give this a go, much to my families disgust & it was perfect! Everyone commented on how good it was & it is definitely the way I’ll be cooking it in the slow cooker from now on.
Thanks for the recipe!!!

Tried this today for the first time, and all I can say is delicious. I used diet ginger ale. Will be doing this again for sure. Leftovers will be great in sandwiches 😀

Doesn’t have to be fully covered 🙂
If I am home I’ll often flip my half way through but it’s ok if you aren’t there to do so

Just getting ready to make it now, does the meat need to be covered with the ginger ale?

I’ve cooked silverside in a slow cooker for years but never used this method before. Definitely my go to recipe from now on. So quick and easy and tastes amazing

WOW……. Thank you Paulene 😀
This recipe came out beautifully. I cut the silverside to fit my cooker (1.5l). Regularly added ginger beer to keep it covered. 4 hours later. YUMMO, told NEVER to cook it any other way. And that is from a tribe of fussy eaters.

Cut it to fit into your slow cooker then fill almost to the top with the ginger beer/ale 🙂

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I only have small sc 1.5l can you cut silverside in half to make it fit or is this unadvisable? And do you cover the meat with ginger beer. Just don’t want it to dry out.

How big is the piece of silverside supposed to be?
Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central
November 15, 2017
Should be … for such a large piece if you have extra time give it 10hrs …Or if you have auto do 8hrs on auto as that will be high the first 2hrs then it goes low 🙂

Cooking a 3kg silverside in slow cooker with only dry ginger ale, will it still only take 8 hours on low. have cooked before in pan using water vinegar cloves and mustard seeds was awesome

Really easy & 2 ingredients even better! I opted for ginger ale. The silverside was heavenly ⛤⛧⛦
Do yourself a favour – make this you won’t be disappointed!!

Amazing Roslyn. The meat fell apart and I made a Cheesy Mustard Béchamel for the first time to accompany it. Served with boiled potatoes, Pumpkin and peas. None left for sandwiches lol.

I made this and I was sceptical , I will be making it like this from now on. Awesome taste and so easy. Full of flavour ,it is cooked when you insert a metal skewer and skewer comes out easy , great with white parsley sauce. Yummy. Mine was cooked in less time than the recipe states.

Wow. First mouthful at the table, and it got a thumbs up all round. Safe to say I will be making this again as the family gave it a 9/10! (I used Ginger Ale.) A member on the FB page also provided me with a mustard sauce recipe to go with it. I don’t like mustard but oh my word, it was delicious. Leftovers went in the lunchbox sandwiches too.

I don’t like ginger beer/ale either and I LOVE this!

Ok, so I was a little worried about making this. I am not a ginger beer or ginger ale fan and thought that it all I was going to taste. However, I did go ahead and make it. Now I have grown up with my mum cooking silverside but with vinegar, mustard, herbs and a few extra special ingredients. I have tried to make hers but have always failed and my husband would never eat it. So I thought I would give a new recipe a try and OH MY… not only was it yummy (no ginger ale taste, just a small sweetness taste) my husband ate it and request I make another one!! WINNING! Will defiantly keep cooking it this way and it is so easy.

I rub fat side (facing up) with some brown sugar as well and place some orange slices on top of that. Adds extra flavour. Even if using ginger ale I still add a bay leaf and a dash or either brown or apple cider vinegar. Old habits die hard. Delicious. Also, if you wish, you can place on a bed of onion, celery and carrots for extra flavour. I usually discard the vegetables…but you don’t have to.

If in doubt just turn meat half way through cooking time that’s what I do 🙂

I have a 6L slow cooker so would I have to add extra ginger beer/ale or anything to cover the meat or is it ok to only have it partly submerged in liquid?
Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central

I always only use ginger ale also 🙂

I have tried it once with Ginger Beer didnt really like the taste but i have made it few times with Ginger Ale. I prefer the ginger ale it gives it nice flavour. I have it on now in my slowcooker for dinner tonight in Ginger Ale. 🙂 thanks for sharing this awesome recipe 🙂

Ginger beer will give a stronger ginger flavour also compared to ginger ale 🙂
I use ginger ale myslef

*i used dry ginger ale* This is a nice recipe. However i found it a bit bland tasting compared to my usual recipe i use. It is still a good recipe and it doesn’t have a strong ginger taste (i would say it is very subtle). It cooked well and i like that it just has 2 ingredients.
