Maple Mustard Silverside

Maple Mustard Silverside

With so many ways to do silverside in the slow cooker I’m still always looking for something new – when I created this one I knew that it just may become our new permanent way to cook it – it was THAT good!!!

    Oh my this was amazing. The meat was tender and the flavour of the sauce was not sweet at all. Yum

    Oh this version is amazing…vert tasty and even though I am a die hard ginger beer version cook; this would rival it in my book. Will now be rotating both versions when cooking silverside. Delish

    Holy. Moly. I’m honestly not a huge fan of silverside (was cooking this mostly for my wife and our friend)… but I think this recipe has made me like silverside! Guessing it must be witchcraft.

    The meat became very tender however I would cut back on the maple syrup if I make it again as was a bit too sweet for our taste.

    Ha ha might have to revise to 5 stars as we couldn’t stop nibbling at it after lunch, was so good. ( Di, Diane)

    tried this for the first time last night, it was very nice and will certainly do it again, I thought it may have been too sweet but it wasn’t.

    Tried this for the first time tonight – I usually do the traditional vinegar, brown sugar and bay leaves, but this was excellent. Will definitely be making this on regular rotation. Thanks Paulene.

    This recipe is simple & amazing, It is now my go to for Corned Beef / Silverside, it is so delicious, at the end I make a white cheesy sauce (separatley) but with the juices added from the slow cooker and add an extra teaspoon of seeded mustard

    Cooking this now on regular rotation after introducing it to a family that said they hate corned beef.

    A household fav!! I make this regularly, served with potatoes and carrots (steamed, boiled or slow cooked!!) After removing meat from slow cooker to slice, I always use the liquid left at the bottom to make a delicious sauce!! Simply whisk in some butter, milk or cream and cornflour or plain flour to thicken. So so good and heaps better than the traditional “boiled in clove water” which I hate!! ???

    Seriously the best silverside recipe I’ve ever tried! Absolutely delicious and everyone had empty plates, even went back for seconds 👌

    Paulene..
    instead of maple syrup..would it work with Golden syrup instead..?
    thanks..Sandy

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central June 21, 2024

      It would work yes – could be a little sweater but still delish I think!
      Let us know how you go 🙂

    I made this recently and was blown away! Not usually a huge fan of silverside but this is and absolute game changing. I’m making it again tonight for myself and my partner (who also loved it)

    I haven’t made corned beef any other way since trying this recipe! It’s fantastic! My fussy, usually non- meat eating 6 yo also loves it. I always cook on high for the 6 hours as I find the meat is more tender and better cooked than when done on low. I also make the most delicious sauce by making a roux with flour and butter in a pan on the stove and then tipping in all the cooking juices from the slow-cooker once the meat is removed. Add a little extra maple syrup /whole -grain mustard to taste and when thickened and bubbling, add a dash of cream! It’s soooo good!!!

    Maybe I need some help with this ……
    Okay I am not sure how you all say this was the best silverside ever. I done this recipe tonight and while the meat undoubtedly the tenderest meat ever it was also not a great taste. I got my silverside from my butcher whom I get all out meat from .
    I followed the recipe to a Tee I rinsed that silverside so many times and cooked as per instructions and I found the meat to still have that salty taste.
    I was going to cook this as a meal for some friends but I am so thankful I tried it first I would have been so horrified to serve this up to friends.
    So unless I have done something wrong I will never cook silverside with maple syrup again.
    I will be trying the ginger beer recipe next.

    Absolutely wonderful. I substituted honey for the maple as thats all I had in the cupboard but it still worked so well.

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central January 7, 2026

    This is a family fave.
    I love the simplicity of it, and the subtle maple mustard flavour combination. This time 2.7kg big piece of silversode. Cooked on low for 8hr.

  28. Michelle Edwards June 27, 2026

    Sings “simply the best, so much better than all the rest”, I was in love with the Citrus Silverside but this is my new favourite.
