Ingredients:
1kg beef Silverside (Corned Beef)
1 tablespoon oil (avocado or olive)
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon coarse black pepper
2 large onions, halved and sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1L beef stock
2 cups of your favourate shiraz
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons corn flour (if needed)
4 small French baguettes
Butter, room temperature
Edam or Gouda cheese grated
Salt & Pepper (Herbalicious or SaltnPeppa works great)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
Rub the oil, salt and pepper all over the Silverside and set aside.
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat, and brown the meat on all sides.
Transfer the meat to an oven-safe roasting dish and add the onions, garlic, herbs, stock, wine, and Worcestershire sauce. Cover with foil and roast for 3 hours.
After 3 hours, reduce the temperature to 180 degrees and cook for another hour without the foil.
Once the meat is cooked, rest it for at least 10 minutes.
To prepare your jus, start by removing the herbs. Use a fork to mash the onion and garlic into the juice, then strain it through a sieve. If the jus is too thin, you can thicken it with corn flour.
To thicken the jus, return the strained juices to the pan. In a separate container mix two tablespoons of the jus with corn flour to make a paste. Stir this paste back into the pan with the jus and heat gently until you achieve the desired thickness. The jus should be slightly thicker than usual but not as thick as gravy.
When ready to serve your sandwich, slice the Silverside thinly. Dip the slices into a small amount of jus allowing the beef to absorb the jus flavours and pour the remaining jus into ramekins for serving alongside the sandwiches.
Lightly toast the baguettes in the oven or on a hot pan.
Butter the toasted baguettes and layer the Silverside slices inside. Top with grated cheese and return to the oven to grill for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
