[Food] Tamago's Super-Tender Corned Silverside Beef
At last I was able to download photos of the food that I am preparing! 
Now on to 'How to make Super-Tender Corned Silverside Beef'
This is an old recipe that has remained unchanged since early last century.
Ingredients
Approx 1.5kg of Corned Silverside (approx 3lbs)
2 Fistfuls of Brown Sugar (more or less 1/2 a cup)
1 Big Splash of White Vinegar (roughly 3/4 cup)
1 Brown Onion (stabbed a few times (so the onion flavour can leech out better))
Method of Cooking
This is a slab of Corned Silverside.
When you open it, you will find it covered in brine. 
You need to wash off the excess brine so it is easier to leech out the salt.
(That's one of the reasons this meat tastes better than most corned beef as the salt has already altered the meat so you do not need the salt anymore which is why you want to remove as much salt from it as possible)
Place the Silverside in the pot, add enough water to cover it totally by at least 2 inches.
Set the heat on High until it is boiling, then simmer for an hour.
After an hour, drain all the water out of the pot, this is so you can remove as much salt as possible.
Refill pot with fresh water so the meat is covered by at least 4 inches.
Add in the onion, brown sugar and white vinegar.
Set the heat on Low for at least 4-6 hours.
(I recommend 4-6 hours as it makes sure the meat is cooked enough that it becomes super-tender. Less than 3 hours and it would only be tender-ish, more than 7 hours and the meat would likely fall totally apart, the 4-6 hour is the best amount of time.)
When the meat is ready, remove the meat carefully as it should be so tender that it would be almost ready to fall apart.
You don't even need a knife to cut up slices. You can enjoy it hot or enjoy it as cold-cuts or even just tear off some strips and eat as is.
Well I hope that you find this recipe interesting and if you try it out for yourself, I hope you enjoy the results.

Yes it is very easy to eat a lot of it at a time, it has that effect. Great as hot moist tender slabs with roast potatoes and veggies or simply peel off a few strings of meat when its cold and eat it with your fingers.
Thank you, I thought that Nanami could make a cool looking bishie which is why I created my siggy *hehe*

Thats what makes it so good, your only problem is avoiding the temptation just to rip off some cold 'strings' of meat again and again. You can use sauces or gravy but frankly, it tastes just fine by itself.
I'm not sure if they have a different name for Silverside in Canada or not, all I know is that Silverside is the name of a cut of beef from the hindquarter of a cow, just above the leg.

Re: [Food] Tamago's Super-Tender Corned Silverside Beef
Wow that looks bunches of delicious and I don't even usually like corned anything. I think the brown sugar sold me. 
I'll definitely look around for this.
Also...the whole point of making things like that is driveby picking. 
That's why you leave fruit or cookies on the table.
Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

I'm mostly immune to fruit and cookies 
They'd never get eaten if I didn't force myself, I just usually don't like sweets unless I'm really in the mood for them. I still have all that candy I brought home from NYC except the stuff I gave away.
To me, that looks like sammich meat and possibly a corned beef hash or other breakfasty type thing... maybe some gravy and make it for dinner with mashed taters... but really, mostly sammich.

Re: [Food] Tamago's Super-Tender Corned Silverside Beef
MMMM.... Corned beef :drools:
Simple procedure of course. Although, I've only cook with this only once D:
Although I dont boil mine. I dont like boiling when it comes to cooking meats.
My version would be somewhat like this:
INGREDIENTS
Beef 50lbs
Salt 3 lbs
Sugar 3 1/4 lbs
Water 2 gallons
* Note: Salt & Sugar is always equal parts (With the exception of sugar being a little bit more) in a brine solution.
METHOD:
- Place beef in a large tub to fit into.
- Mix and pour the rest of the ingredients over the beef.
- Store in refrigerator 3-4 days.
Cooking Method:
- You can boil or...
- Place in smoker until internal temperature reaches to 160-180 F with a meat thermometer.

I mean, yes, indeed. That would be very useful for my anatomical studies. I'd be very scholarly about naked pictures of Akio.

I have re-edited my initial post to explain things a bit more.
I am curious at to finding out if anyone has tried my recipe and how did it go?
One more thing DO NOT 
into the meat as you want to reduce the salt content not increase it.

I have often heard from friends and family as well as seen website discribe semen as having a salty taste.

Re: [Food] Tamago's Super-Tender Corned Silverside Beef
I can attest to that. Also, apparently eating a lot of meat makes for bitter semen, fruit makes sweet, and celery makes more volume and viscosity. How do I know? To be honest, I forget why I know that, cause it's not personal experience.
Back on topic, though, I can't find a damn chunk of silverside to save my life. And I wants it precious 
Can anyone recommend a Canadian store that would have it?

ASPARAGUS IS BAD.
Or so I hear.

Yeah, same. I've glanced around each time I've gone into the grocery stores and just haven't come by it yet.

That’s is a damn shame, you would think that they would have something similar to corned silverside but even I cannot find any reference to Silverside by any other name, the only thing you can do I guess is ask your butcher if he has any cuts of meat that corresponds to:
that part of the cow and hopefully that they have a corned version of that cut.
Here is a better way to explain it.
Silverside is the name to a cut of beef from the hindquarter of a cow, just above the leg cut.
Silverside gets its name because of the 'sliverwall' on the side of the cut; this is a long fibrous 'skin' which has to be removed for it is too tough to eat.
The Silverside is boned out from the top along with the topside and thick flank.
Silverside is a 2nd class roasting joint or it is sliced for minute streak or beef olives, or split in two to produce a salmon-cut.

Jerking off does not count as scholastic activity, Gio.
And I heard asparagus is for pee, but I didn't know about the semen thing. And if we know how to change the taste of semen, does this mean we get to groom our boytoys into eating what will make them taste better?
And Tamago, you're sooooo fantastic. In many ways. I would love to try this silverside thing. Unfortunately, I've never heard of silverside and I've got teh same problem as Yasha; I've never seen it anywhere.
