We recognise that this is a special treat, something reserved for special occassions, Easter, Christmas, birthdays, family gatherings.

​

Our beef topside is a great alternative but if you are looking for something that adds a little wow to the table, a meat with better flavour then beef rib, on the bone is the best choice.

​

It is easy to cook too.

​

Preheat the oven to 240°C/fan220°C/gas 9, or to its highest setting. Weigh the beef and calculate its cooking time at 12-13 minutes per 500g for rare, 15-16 minutes per 500g for medium-rare, 17-18 minutes per 500g for medium, plus 30 minutes’ resting. So to cook a joint of this size to medium-rare will take about 13/4 hours, plus resting.
