Citrus Silverside + Sides
A zesty fresh low carb silverside - with the option of all in the one pot sides!
Serving: 5
Ingredients
Silverside (low carb)
- 1-2kg piece of corned silverside/brisket
- 1.25L sparkling mineral water
- 1 lime
- 1 Lemon
Sides (optional)
- Oven bag
- Vegetables of choice
Instructions
Silverside
- Remove silverside from packaging, rinse, place in slow cooker
- Slice each lemon and lime in half and add to slow cooker
- Pour over 1.5L sparkling mineral water
- It's ok if it doesn't completely cover the silverside. I turn mine over half way if I'm home. I don't worry if I don't.
- Cook on high for approx 6-7hrs
Sides (optional)
- Peel/wash vegetables of your choice.
- Place them in an over bag.
- Tie bag and pierce at top as per oven bag instructions to allow venting.
- Slowly submerge the bag gently into the slow cooker beside your silverside at the desired time remaining (below), leaving the pierced area and tie above water level.
- Times: Hard vegetables like potato, carrot, sweet potato etc add bag 3hrs prior to silverside finish time. Soft vegetables like zucchini, asparagus, broccoli etc add the bag approx 1hr prior to silverside finish time. You can add multiole bags if they fit 🙂
- Check vegetable tenderness to be sure it's done to your liking.

I’m converted!
This will be the only way I cook silverside from now on.
I only had an orange and half a lemon, so in they went. I had lemon and lime juice so a good squirt of each.
The smell was sensational and the meat tastes divine. A slight sweetness but far from overly sweet.
This is a winner ?
That’s a great idea with the veg
This was an interesting variation. I had lemon-flavoured mineral water and lime flavoured soda water and used half/half, with the lemon cut for cooking.
The smells ALL day were sublime!!!!
The silverside (corned beef), 4-5 hours on high was so lovely – moist/tender and the flavour was light but THERE.
I served with steamed green broccoli and asparagus (with a squeeze of lemon juice) – very much a hit.
It really is a nice way to cook for a warmer evening (sudden Spring heatwave here) without the heavy winter sauces/flavours – it isn’t my favourite version, but WELL WORTH a revisit <3
Absolutely will do again – maybe before Christmas 😉
