When you are looking for cold meat in a sandwich it is hard to go past corned beef … especially when you have made it yourself!
This recipe serves 4, with plenty of meat leftover for the next couple of days in lunch boxes, or you can slice the meat and freeze it to have another time … remember the Reuben sandwich? They are the best! Fabulous easy Friday night dinner of thickly sliced corn beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and pickle on toasted rye bread. Now that is a great sandwich! See here
Before cooking your meat take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before commencing this recipe. Veggies should also be at room temperature when added to the dish in the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
When testing this recipe I used a variety of beef pieces ranging in size from 1kg to 1.5kg. Cooking time was the same for all. It is important you get a piece of meat that is longer rather than rounder so that it fits into the Veroma dish easily with the lid sitting snugly. With the TM5 this may not be such an issue as the dish is slightly bigger, but for the TM31 this is particularly important.
There will be a lot of stock leftover – it is far too yummy to throw away, so I always use it to make a soup the next day, or as the stock to make a sauce for pasta. Freeze it for later use if you don’t need to use it within a few days.

- 100g apple cider vinegar
- 1500g water
- Use whatever you have on hand, but I used small potatoes cut into halves, carrots and frozen peas (which I took out of freezer at the commencement of the dish so that they are thawed when added to the Veroma later).
