How To Cook Topside Beef Food

HOW TO COOK BEEF TOPSIDE

Steps:

• Heat your oven to 210° and allow it time to get really hot
• Heat a large frying pan with 2 tbsp of Olive oil on high so the oil's very hot (not smoking!)
• Rub another table spoon of oil onto your beef and season it well with some salt and pepper. Then using your hands, massage the seasoning into the beef with the oil all the way around so it's well worked into the meat
• Sear the beef in the hot oil frying pan, letting each side brown nicely, turning it round often to make sure all sides are browned
• Don't worry too much about the ends. These will pick up some color as you're browning the sides, if you can still see some red meat on the ends, leave them
• Put the topside into the baking tray and set the timer for half way through your preferred cooking time (see post). Half way through take the beef out and pour the juices from the pan on the top of the beef and put it back in the oven for the rest of the cooking time
• Take it out when it's done and leave it to rest for 15 minutes with a clean dry tea towel over the top of it

FALL-APART-TENDER BRAISED TOPSIDE OF BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat slow cooker.
• Heat oil in a large pan (I find a wok is best), and carefully brown beef on all sides, turning with two wooden spoons. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Add the vegetables and garlic to the pan and, stirring regularly, cook for 5 mins until the onions are beginning to go soft.
• Transfer the vegetables to warmed crock pot and place the beef on top, push the beef down so it nestles among the vegetables.
• Dissolve the stock cube in the just boiled water, add the wine, oregano, mixed herbs and pepper.
• Pour over the beef, add the bay leaf and cover. Cook on auto for 8-10 hours or low for 10-12 hours.
• Once the beef is cooked, carefully remove from the crock pot and place on a warmed serving platter. Remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon and arrange around the beef. Cover and keep warm.
• For the gravy, ladle the liquid left in the crock pot into a saucepan, stir in the gravy granules and bring to the boil, simmer for 2 minutes.
• Serve with mashed potatoes and savoy cabbage.
