Melt in the mouth.
I have to say this joint was really excellent and cut really well. When I saw 'slow roasting' I was a little dubious and wondered if it would be tough but it was melt in the mouth. Would highly recommend.
Lovely, good value
Lovely browned first, then done for many hours in the slow cooker with quartered onion and carrot, and 1 or 2 stock cubes. Very nice, I slice when cold, and freeze portions with the gravy. I often use 1/2 of the joint cubed and cooked as a delicious stew, much better than packs of the quite ghastly stewing beef for sale.
Great for biltong
Used it to make biltong, came out perfect :)
Excellent taste and texture
Excellent when slow braised in the oven on a bed of red wine and onions. Tasted great, sliced beautifully, and was tender enough for sandwiches. Used the braising juices to make onion soup later. Could maybe have benefited from a bit of extra fat on top, so I stuffed some butter under the netting (dripping would work too). Would definitely buy again.
Slow cooked for 7 hours on 130. Meat was gorgeous.

Very good joint for the price.
Was quite surprised as this was very good especially for the price. Followed instructions for medium. Had a 1.5 kg (10 mins per 100g) = 2.5 hours on 120 fan, then another 20 mins on 220. Came out a little bit more over done than I would like but I know to reduce the time next time I cook it. I have tried lots of beef joints and this one is one of the best.
Decent meat and good price.
It was cooked in a covered roasting pot for the recommended time and it came out tender and was very easy to carve up. Cook the vegetables in the pot with the meat and stock cube, for tasty veg. There is very little waste with these joints.Impressed by this product.
disappointed
I bought this as a treat for a birthday dinner. It looked good, a nice size but was a complete disaster, even after reading the reviews i cooked as advised and it was so tough could not even slice it. feel let down
Yummy
I cooked it for 4 hours on a low heat and it just melted in the mouth. It sliced beautifully and did not crumble. Very tasty.
We have this beef joint regularly. I cook it in t
We have this beef joint regularly. I cook it in the slow cooker. It is always tender and flavoursome. Another bonus is that it doesn't have basting fat. It doesn't need it. A family favourite!
