Perfect for any occasion, our topside of beef with have your mouth watering from the get-go!
Topside, also sometimes known as the ‘poor man’s sirloin,’ is a fantastic, inexpensive roasting joint that cuts into delightfully uniform slices. Now, we don’t agree with the term ‘poor man’s sirloin” in the slightest, as this cut has plenty of benefits that make it truly stand up for itself among various other cuts. However, it’s especially good roasted and thinly sliced, and any leftovers are great in sandwiches with horseradish mayonnaise or salads.
Serves: 3– 4 people
This steak cut comes from the inside of the hind leg, between the thick flank and the silverside, and is usually sliced from the entire topside. Tenderised topside steaks are perfect for schnitzels or steak sandwiches, and that’s because they are both lean and incredibly adaptable pieces.
Topside of beef, cut from the inner thigh of the cow, is a lean and flavourful part of the animal. Known for its fine grain and firm texture, it’s ideal for slow roasting or braising, allowing the meat to become tender while retaining its rich flavours. Often used for traditional roast beef (especially at Christmas!), topside benefits from marinating and slow cooking to improve its tenderness – this cut is a popular choice for hearty meals, providing a delicious meal when properly prepared!
Planning a proper Sunday roast? Our 0.9–1.0kg Topside of Beef Joint is a lean, tender cut that delivers classic flavour and slices up beautifully. Hand-prepared by our butchers, it’s best roasted low and slow to keep it juicy. For medium doneness, roast at 180°C for around 50 minutes to an hour (internal temp of 60–65°C), then rest for 20 minutes before carving, this helps keep every slice tender and full of flavour!
We recommend rubbing the joint with English mustard, garlic, and a touch of olive oil before roasting, or keep it simple with salt, pepper, and fresh rosemary. Serve it up with Yorkshire puds, crispy roasties and seasonal veg for a true and trusted family favourite. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze on arrival if needed.
