Big lump of beef

[Easytigers]

No...not me!

Got a huge joint of silverside beef for today's dinner and wanted to something a little bit more interesting than just chucking it in the oven.

Any ideas???

Why not eat it nearly raw? That seems to be the trend these days, blood running out of meat...

I get my bomb making saltpetre from Amazon.co.uk

Silverside for me too. Its only 1kg because the mrs and teens wont eat it so its all for me.

Nowt flash, just roasting it on a bed of onions, carrots, parsnips, leeks and celery with seasoning. Left overs will be for sarnies and fajitas.

Pot roast. Chuck a few chunked carrots, onions, parsnips, whatever, in a casserole, and fry them for a few minutes. Add the beef and brown it all over. Add a cube's worth of stock, a couple of bayleaves and a palm or two of herbs of choice, then in the oven for three or four hours at 140 (check for evaporation every now & then). Then fish out the meat & veg and stir in a spoon of butter pasted together with a spoon of flour, and stir to thicken over a low heat to make your gravy. Serve with the veg and some mash. That's it. It's almost impossible to screw up, and it always ends up melt-in-the-mouth tender.

Chuck it in the deep fat fryer.

Chuck it in the deep fat fryer.

Not without batter I won't.

It's myoglobin. Well, mostly water, but myoglobin is basically the way nutrients and oxygen are carried to the muscles. It goes brown as it cooks/oxidises. Just once, put aside your prejudice and try a piece of rare beef. Not silverside, but a quick-cook cut like rump or even fillet. If you don't like it, fair do's, but you are denying yourself a lot of taste and flavour by being squeamish.
