Fresh Halal Australian Wagyu Topside – 6-7 BMS

Fresh Halal Australian Wagyu beef topside is a lean, single-muscle cut from the round, with a marble score of 6-7. Certified Halal and slaughtered by the non-stunned method, it's supplied fresh and cut to order as steaks, cubes, strips or mince for slow-cooked dishes, curries and stews.

Is Wagyu topside the same as silverside?

Both are lean cuts from the round, but topside is the more tender of the two. Here it's cut to order as steaks from 100g to 250g, cubes from 20g to 50g, strips or mince — never sold as a single roasting joint.

Cutting styles and pack sizes

Cut to order as steaks (100-150g or 220-250g), cubes (40-50g or 20-30g), strips (20g), strip pieces (30-40g) or mince — bespoke cutting to order, sized to the recipe rather than pre-portioned.

Packs run 500g to 1kg — enough for a single braise or a larger batch of stew or mince.

How to cook Wagyu topside

This lean cut rewards low, slow cooking rather than a quick sear. Braise steaks or cubes for 2-3 hours until they pull apart, or brown the mince before simmering it into a keema with ginger, garlic and green chilli.

Butcher's tip: sear the meat hard before adding liquid, so the crust holds up through a long braise.

FAQs

What temperature should I braise it at?

Keep it at a gentle simmer, around 160C in the oven, rather than a rolling boil, so the lean meat stays tender over the 2-3 hour cook instead of drying out.
