Topside Beef - 1.2kg

A lean, boneless topside of beef joint, rolled with a layer of fat to keep it moist as it roasts. At around 1.2kg it serves 5–6 for a Sunday roast, with leftovers for sandwiches.

• Approx. 1.2kg boneless joint, fatted and rolled
• Serves 5–6
• UK beef
• Delivered frozen

How to cook it

Defrost fully in the fridge. Roast at 220°C for 20 minutes, then turn down to 180°C and allow about 15 minutes per 450g (1lb) for medium-rare, 20 for medium or 25 for well done. Rest for 15–20 minutes, then carve thinly – topside is lean, so it's best not overcooked.

Where it comes from

Cut and packed by our butchers at Elston Farm, Copplestone, Devon, from UK beef.

Storage

Delivered frozen. Put it in the freezer as soon as it arrives and keep it at -18°C or below. If it has started to soften but still has ice crystals in it, it is safe to refreeze. To use, defrost in the fridge and use within 48 hours. Do not refreeze once fully defrosted.
