Corner-Cut Topside of Beef

£44.99

2kg, Serves 6 - 8

Make Thorner’s Corner-Cut Topside of Beef the star of your Christmas feast. At a generous 2kg, this impressive joint serves around 8 people, giving you a hearty roast that’s big enough for the whole family to gather round, whether it’s on Christmas Day itself or a festive get-together with friends.

Taken from the corner of the topside, this lean cut is known for its succulent, full-bodied flavour and even shape, which helps it roast beautifully from edge to centre. Thorner’s prepares every joint with care, so you can simply rub it with salt, pepper and a little mustard, then roast until it’s cooked to your liking, pink and juicy or well done. Carve at the table for a real sense of occasion and pair with all the Christmas trimmings, from honey-roasted parsnips to rich gravy. With plenty to go round, there’ll be leftovers for cold beef and pickle sandwiches when the festivities wind down.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

To roast, preheat your oven to 220°C / 200°C fan / Gas 7 and cook the joint at this high heat for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 190°C / 170°C fan / Gas 5 for the remainder of the cooking time. For rare beef, allow 20 minutes per 450g (1lb) plus 15 minutes; for medium, 25 minutes per 450g (1lb) plus 20 minutes; and for well done, 30 minutes per 450g (1lb) plus 25 minutes. Baste the joint regularly during cooking, and if some guests prefer their beef well done, carve their slices from the outside of the joint. Once cooked, rest the meat out of the oven for at least 15 minutes before serving. For salt beef, allow 225g (8oz) per person, so a 2kg (4.5lb) joint serves 6 to 8 people. Place the joint in a large pan, cover with water and bring to the boil, skimming off any impurities, then simmer gently for 3 to 4 hours until tender.
