One of the
most popular and leanest cuts of beef for roasting is topside.
When buying
topside, allow 225-300g/8-10oz per person. This will give enough meat
to serve as a hot roast on Sunday with some left over for sandwiches
on Monday. |

To
roast the joint weigh and calculate the cooking time:
|
Rare: |
20 minutes per
lb plus 20 minutes |
|
Medium: |
25 minutes per
lb plus 25 minutes |
|
Well
Done: |
30 minutes per
lb plus 30 minutes |
Method:
Place the beef
joint on a rack in a roasting tin, this allows the fat to drain away
from the joint during cooking.
Cook in the
centre of a pre-heated oven at Gas Mark 4/180°C/350°F
Before carving
the joint let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to set
and to make carving easier. |
