Topside

This traditional roasting joint comes from the hind and has minimal marbling, making it extra-lean. Roasting it slowly with a little liquid, or an extra layer of fat, will help the joint tenderise, keep the meat moist and give excellent flavour. It’s great served rare and can also be thinly sliced for grilling or frying.
