Prime topside of beef!
48 Answers
Hi, someone has just given me a 2.1kg topside of beef, it looks absolutley beautiful, but having never cooked one before, how would you lovely people suggest I cook it to do it justice?
I have heard it can be a little tough if cooked wrongly.

Glad you said that about the mustard as I'm not a great fan.
One other thing.... I'm having to cook a chicken as well [fussy bluddy kid!], would it be OK to cook the beef first and reheat it in a little gravy before serving...or should I do the chicken first?
I sound like a complete incompetant now...but I just like to have the process right in my head. So, beef of chicken first?

Do the chicken for 1hr no.6. after beef (better to buy cooked in Tesco for pesky kid ;)
After removing all roasties from tray; add 2tblsp of plain flour to baking tray juices & stir in. Add half can beer & fluid from greens to b.tray & place on low heat, stirring to thicken, add gravy browning (for coloring). yummy gravy.
Slice beef when cold (easier) & pour over hot gravy before serving into HOT plates.
