Very tender and tasty
Cover the outside of the joint with mustard and pepper, then cook at 160 degrees with a beef stock cube for two and a half hours in the centre of the oven, add the onions sprouts, carrots, and parsnips for the last 45 minutes, take out the brisket for the last 10 minutes to let it settle before cutting it into slices and you have the perfect beef joint. It was so soft and tender. Well done Tesco for sourcing decent cuts of meat.
Quality can be very variable.
If cooked low and slow (at least 4 hours) it is very good - if you get a lean one. Sometimes the joint is lovely and lean but if you are unlucky sometimes it is a mass of fat and sinew.
More fat & gristle than beef!!!
A lot of fat and gristle, inedible! Had to give to the dog! The last one I bought 2 months ago was lovely but this was terrible, for the price it's disgraceful!!!
Terrible; a recipe that I’ve cooked many times but
Terrible; a recipe that I’ve cooked many times but meat was tough and mostly inedible - now in bin. What a waste of both food and money
Not like brisket at all. After 4 hours low and slo
Not like brisket at all. After 4 hours low and slow cooking still tough
Makes Tender & Delicious Pot-Roast
This joint makes a delicious pot-roast. It has to be cooked on a low heat for several hours. I sear it, then I place it in a little water, with onions, carrots, celery, swede and seasoning. I cover it, then casserole it for a good four hours. When the meat is thoroughly tender, I remove it from the pot and thicken the vegetables and gravy. Nobody in this house ever has any complaints. I absolutely recommend this joint. The meat is always tender and delicious.
Not great
Poor quality - 2 pieces of meat rolled together to make the weight. 2nd smaller piece was full of gristle and not edible
Not Good....at all.
2 layers of beef, not a joint, and the bottom layer was all sinew and weird looking flesh, but I had to work hard to use in a stew. I always trust Tesco, but this time, they lost the ball.

Like Grandmas
This is my favourite joint of beef. For beef like Grandma used to make (1950s/60s) I usually cook it in my pressure cooker with 2 cups of beef stock for 60 minutes. So succulent, cooked to perfection.
