What Can Corn Beef Be Cooked With

This delicious easy corned beef is fantastic if you're looking to make a hearty meal that will please a crowd.

Easy Corned Beef

We make our corned beef using a piece of silverside or also known as bottom round. Other cuts such as brisket can be used but a good piece of silverside will work the best.

With this piece of meat, we add some vinegar, sugar, and some spices. This combination of ingredients produces a flavor-packed tender piece of beef. It's absolutely delicious.

Once the beef is cooked, it will be infused with a ton of flavor and be deliciously tender. If you let the meat rest and cut against the grain, you can cut thin slices without it falling apart. Cutting too soon may leave you with a bunch of shredded corned beef.

What to Serve with Corned Beef

Many foods go great with this meat, so I am only going to mention a couple of side dish ideas below.

While you can cook some vegetables in with the poaching liquid, I highly recommend not to. Mainly due to the vegetables taking on the flavor of the vinegar, which might make them not very enjoyable.

Roasting some vegetables while the beef is cooking in the pot is a great idea. Some sweet potato fries are also an excellent option to go alongside this delicious meal.

As you can see in the photos, I typically cook some par-boiled potatoes and greens in a frypan with some butter and garlic. They are delicious and match perfectly with the tender flavor-packed meat.

Corned Beef with Potatoes and Green Beans

If you love corned beef and cabbage, then you should make some creamy cabbage. It's super simple and can be made in the slow cooker or over the stove. It's the perfect combination that I highly recommend.

Gravy is also an excellent addition to this dish but will need to be made separately. Typically a white gravy is to be served with corned beef, but a traditional brown gravy also matches amazingly well.

Some cauliflower cheese goes great with the sliced beef. You can quickly cook it just before you go to serve. The cheese sauce goes great on both the cauliflower and the meat.

Leftover Ideas

Assuming you end up with leftovers, make sure you don't throw them out as there is a ton you're able to do with corned beef. For example, you can make some corned beef hash in the morning or even slice it up for use on sandwiches.

Sliced Corned Beef

Any leftover cooked corned beef should last for three to four days in the refrigerator. To make it last even longer, you can freeze the meat instead. In the freezer, it will take two to three months before it starts to lose a bit of quality.

Recipe Tips

  • If you want to cook the beef for longer but don't want to leave it on a stove, then cooking the corned beef in a slow cooker is an option.
  • Silverside is typically super cheap, so it's a great cut of meat to use when you're on a tight budget.
  • You can make this recipe gluten-free by replacing the malt vinegar with apple cider vinegar or something similar.
  • If you want to add even more flavor to the beef, then you can swap the water for a beef broth. The broth will infuse even more flavors into the silverside (bottom round).
  • Keep an eye on the pot for a few minutes after you put the lid on as it can quickly boil and overflow without you noticing. If it does go to boil, reduce the heat even further.
  • You can use beef brisket instead of silverside or bottom round.
