A great quality piece of beef
A great quality piece of beef which I bought half price. As there are only two of us we had three large meals from it. Roasted with veg, potatoes etc, with pickles and the rest in a curry. Great value for us
Won’t buy again.
Tough tasteless and gristly. Bought 2 joints. Will pot roast one in freezer and see if better cooked that way.

Tender, Delicious, Topside Beef Joint
I bought this topside joint when 1/2 price in October 19 and froze it - I defrosted properly couple of months later - early December 19 and roasted for recommended time on bed of onion/root veg. I then let the meat rest for 20 mins/ 1.2 hour - and then calved for my dinner guests x 4. It was like carving butter - I didn't realise topside was the best joint for roasting with usual roasties etc so was really pleased with the quality of this joint (and my cooking in a very good new oven helped lol) The meat was the most tender roast beef I have ever had - and the taste was delicious. It made amazing gravy too - with addition of knorr beef stick pots. I will definitely buy again and make sure its the Topside Joint - amazing value when on offer but worth the full price.
Poor quality for the price
For the price of the joint you would expect a good cut of meat. But no, it was full of gristle. The meat itself was tasty, but spoiled by the gristle etc. Even at half price this wasn't a good buy
This cut of beef is cheap and poor, to get the mos
This cut of beef is cheap and poor, to get the most out of it remove the fat and slow cook it in the oven with some stock and veg.
Disappointing.
Last week i purchased this joint and had some yesterday. It had a massive vein running through the center of joint and was very chewy, it was like chewing on a fan belt . My whole dinner was ruined after cooking, threw away 70% and this was a 2.15kg joint. I'll never buy this again.
