A topside beef joint is a cut of beef that comes from the hindquarters of the cow, specifically from the top of the rear leg. It's a relatively lean cut with minimal marbling, making it ideal for roasting.
Topsides are often chosen for roasting because they offer a balance of tenderness and flavour. They're typically seasoned with herbs and spices, then roasted in the oven until tender and cooked to the desired level.
After roasting, the topside beef joint can be thinly sliced and served as a main course alongside vegetables, gravy, and other accompaniments. It's a popular choice for Sunday roasts, holiday dinners and special occasions, offering a delicious and hearty meal that's sure to please a crowd.

Resting: Remove the beef and cover with foil to rest for about 30 minutes
