How to prepare

A perfect slow-roast Sunday joint. Remove from the fridge 30 mins before roasting. Season and oil generously. Brown in a 220°C/Gas 7 oven for 20 mins, then turn down to 160°C/Gas 3 and add a little water to the pan (stock and wine ideally). Cover tightly with foil and roast for 4 hours, until tender. Leave somewhere warm to rest for at least 20 mins before carving. Use any resting and roasting juices as the base for your gravy.

Storage

Keep in the fridge below 5˚C. If you’re not going to eat it within a day or two, freeze your meat as soon as possible and always within the use by date. Once frozen, use within a month. Use on the day of defrosting.
