If the salt beef is encased in plastic wrap, undo and rinse to remove any excess brine.

Step 4

Scatter the onion, orange and cloves around the salt beef.

Step 5

Pour the golden syrup on top and then add sufficient tap cold water to cover the beef. Cover with the lid.

Step 6

Cook on low for 7-9 hours or on high for 4-6 hours, or until tender.

Step 7
