This recipe for corned beef (also known as silverside), provides a nourishing family meal with an extra gingery zing. Rather than soaking in a traditional salt brine, the beef brisket simmers in an onion, apple and ginger beer mixture. This delicious dish is topped with a ginger and mustard sauce for extra zing, and perfect for your next meal with family or friends.

We like to serve it with traditional corned beef sides: cabbage, potatoes and carrots.
