For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I always go for rolled rib of beef, more fat = more flavour. Try and get from a good butcher or farm shop, you don't want bright red bloody beef, darker shows it has been hung for longer. I pay just under �3 per lb for it at the local farm shop. A 3lb lump will do you nicely and a leave a bit left over.
I always went to my butcher and explained what meat I wanted and how many I was to feed and asked them how to cook their suggested joint. Talk to your butcher and tell him what meat you want as a Sunday roast and get his suggestion and also he wil tell you the best way to cook it......far easier than some members here who simply post a lazy reply to a website link to your question. Just go to a butcher and say " I want to do roast beef, what is the best to get to feed 2 people" and he'll advise you.
No doubt about it, go to the butchers and speak to them. Different cuts suit different folks in both taste and pocket. Personally I always go for an older cut called Point of the Rump, a proper one of which you will never get in a supermarket. Oh, and "butchers" counters in supermarkets don't count LOL.
And if your budget doesn't run to rib you can't beat a nice bit of rolled brisket cooked long and slow ..even nicer if you have a slow cooker to do it in.Meat from a proper butcher is always much better than from supermarkets .They don't hang it long enough .I hate the way they plonk a bit of any old fat on top the meat ....Yuk .
