Makes delicious spiced beef (buy salted) when time allows. Simmer gently for several hours to tenderise then stud with cloves, spread with a paste of mustard, sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice and roast. (See other beef roasts and Brisket.)

Unlike Sirloin, Rib and Rump roasting joints (which have a good degree of marbling) Silverside (like Topside) is very lean so requires basting with the cooking fat during roasting. If braised or pot roasted, additional fat is unnecessary and the long, slow, moist cooking tenderises the meat.

Good value for everyday meals Cheaper than the prime roasting joints, although needs longer cooking. Choose vegetable accompaniments that can be cooked in
oven with it.
