Corned Beef with Mustard Sauce (a family favorite!)

Everyone in my family eats this and it can either be done in the slow cooker or in a pot on the stove.

2kg corned silverside
1 onion, peeled and halved
2 Tblsp golden syrup (once I had run out so I just used some brown sugar instead)
1 tsp whole cloves
2 carrots, halved

For the slow cooker: place silverside in slow cooker, cover with cold water, add other ingredients and cook 8 (ish) hours on low.
For stove top: place silverside in large pot, cover with cold water, add other ingredients. Bring to the boil then lower heat and simmer, covered, 2 - 3 hours.

Lift meat out and place on serving dish.
Strain and reserve 2 cups of the cooking liquid. You can discard the rest!

4 Tblsp butter
4 Tblsp flour (I have done this successfully with GF flour)
1 tsp mustard powder
2 cups reserved cooking liquid
2 Tblsp wholegrain mustard

Melt butter, stir in flour and mustard powder. Cook for 1 minute. Slowly add cooking liquid, stirring, until sauce is smooth. Stir through wholegrain mustard.

I like to serve my corned beef with either mashed or roast potatoes (Harrison won't eat mashed but will eat roasted!), lightly fried cabbage and steamed carrots.
Yummy!!!
