Salt 1.8g
1.5 kg boned and rolled Scotch Beef silverside
1 tbsp beef dripping or butter
1 tsp salt and some freshly ground black pepper
8-12 small red onions, peeled and slit in a cross at the pointed end (so that they do not burst in the oven)
4 heads garlic, halved horizontally
300 ml milk mixed with 200 ml water
For the gravy to add to the pan juices:
2tbsp port (or redcurrant jelly)
1 tbsp Dijon or English mustard
Buttered spinach to serve.
For the Yorkshire Puddings:
-
First make the Yorkshire pudding batter.
1
-
In a large bowl mix the flour and salt, make a well in the centre, break in the eggs and hand whisk in half the liquid, gradually incorporating the flour as you whisk until you have a smooth thick batter with no lumps.
2
-
Stir in the remaining liquid and leave to stand. You will need a 12 hole muffin tin for the puds.
3
-
Put 1/2 a teaspoon of beef dripping into each of the muffin cups.
4
For the Beef:
-
Preheat the oven to 210°C. Rub the rolled silverside joint with the beef dripping and sprinkle with plenty of salt and pepper.
1
-
Put the joint into a roasting tin and into the hot oven for 20 minutes to brown. Then reduce the oven temperature to 170°C.
2
-
Add the onions, garlic and thyme around the beef with about 100 ml of water.
3
-
Cover with foil and cook for about 2 hours, basting from time to time and adding a little more water if necessary. This will keep the meat moist. Re-cover with the foil each time. Uncover the meat for the last 15 minutes of cooking.
4
-
Remove the meat to a warm serving dish with the onions and garlic, cover well and keep it warm. Increase the oven temperature to 210°C.
5
-
Place the muffin tin in the oven until the fat is very hot, stir the batter well, then 2/3 fill each muffin cup and return to the oven for about 20 minutes until well risen and golden brown. They should feel firm and in no danger of collapse, so leave them in a little longer if necessary.
6
For the Gravy:
-
Meanwhile make the gravy.
1
-
Discard any fat from the surface of the pan juices, and with the pan over a medium heat stir in the wine and gather up all the sticky bits, add the water and the port or redcurrant jelly and when melted simmer to reduce the liquid a little.
2
-
Add the mustard and stir until thickened. Taste and season as necessary.
3
To Serve:
-
Slice the beef and serve a couple of slices per person with the soft onions, a piece of garlic, the Yorkshire puddings and a spoon or two of gravy and your favourite green leafy vegetable, such as spinach.

Absolutely delicious. Cooked exactly as suggested as I had not cooked silverside in a long time & know it can be tough if not cooked properly. It needed more attention than most but well worth it & the gravy was stunning. Will definitely do again thank you

This does seem like an awful long time to be cooking this cut. Perhaps frying it off in a pan is more effective than putting the oven on max? Seem to have left out the flour from the instructions and, scrap the port - jam is way more effective and less of a waste. ;)

The cooking time is an hour too much. Just ruined a nice cut by following this advice. Wish i chosen this one instead https://www.farmison.com/community/recipe/how-to-cook-beef-sliverside-joint
