Choosing Your Salt Beef

Cooking Tips for Raw Salt Beef

1. Slow Cook for Tenderness: Place the joint in a large pan, cover with water, and simmer gently for several hours until tender.

2. Add Aromatics: Enhance flavour by adding onions, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns.

3. Rest Before Slicing: Allow the meat to cool slightly before slicing for even, firm slices.

4. Serve Creatively: Use in sandwiches, salads, or layered with mustard and pickles for a classic deli-style treat.

Serving Ideas for Cooked Salt Beef

Pre-cooked salt beef is perfect for ready-to-eat meals. Heat gently for warm sandwiches or enjoy cold on a charcuterie board with cheese, pickles, and artisan bread. Its rich, savoury flavour works beautifully with mustard, horseradish, or melted cheese.
