Ingredients:- 1 Mudgee Meat beef Silverside Roast (approximately 2 kg)
- 2 onions, peeled and quartered
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F).
- Place the Silverside Roast in a large roasting pan.
- Surround the roast with onions, garlic, carrots, celery, bay leaves, and peppercorns.
- Pour the beef broth and red wine (if using) into the roasting pan, ensuring the liquid covers about halfway up the roast.
- Season the roast with salt and pepper.
- Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil or a lid.
- Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and cook for approximately 3 to 4 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove the roast from the pan and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- Strain the cooking liquid and use it as a flavourful au jus to serve alongside the beef.
- Slice the Silverside Roast against the grain and serve with the au jus and your favourite side dishes.
- For enhanced flavour, marinate the beef Silverside Roast overnight in a mixture of red wine, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
- To achieve a beautifully caramelised crust on the roast, sear it in a hot skillet before transferring it to the roasting pan.
