Cooking Guide:

Slow-Roasted Beef Silverside (serves approx. 3 per 500g)

Ingredients:

• Fresh Halal British Beef Silverside (Boneless)
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 onions (sliced)
• 2 carrots (sliced)
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• Beef stock or water
• Fresh thyme and rosemary (optional)
• Cooking oil

Preparation:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (Fan 160°C) or Gas Mark 4.
2. Season the Silverside: Generously season the beef silverside with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Brown the Beef: Heat a little oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sear the silverside on all sides for 4-5 minutes to create a flavorful crust.
4. Prepare the Vegetables: Add onions, carrots, and garlic to the pan, sautéing for a few minutes until softened.
5. Transfer to a Roasting Tin: Place the browned beef and vegetables in a roasting tin. Add enough beef stock or water to cover the bottom of the tin, and for extra flavor, include fresh thyme and rosemary.
6. Slow Roast in the Oven: Cover the tin loosely with foil and roast in the preheated oven for 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on the size of the meat. Baste occasionally with the juices to keep the meat moist.
7. Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing thinly. Serve with the vegetables and the rich, flavorful juices.

Pot-Roasting Option:
For a tender, slow-cooked option, place the silverside in a pot with the vegetables and enough stock to cover the meat halfway. Cover with a lid and cook in the oven or on the stovetop for 3 hours until tender.

Not Suitable for Microwave Cooking.
