Topside

Beef topside is a classic roasting joint, and because it is so lean and tasty it has been a firm family favourite for generations. Taken from the long inner muscle of the cattle’s huge thigh, it is boned, rolled and then ready for cooking.

Low Temperature Cooking:

Preheat oven and roasting tin to 80°C without the fan.
Pat meat dry with kitchen paper. Heat a frying pan on high. Add a little oil to the pan, or brush directly onto the meat. Sear the meat all over for 4-5 minutes in total. Place in the preheated tin and season with salt & pepper. Set thermometer to 60°C and insert horizontally into the centre of the meat. Put into the oven until the thermometer alarm sounds (approx 60-90 minutes).
