Cooking
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.
Organic beef farmer
The beef comes from our producer group of small-scale organic farmers, who rear their animals to some of the highest welfare standards around. They are grass fed and enjoy an outdoor existence, reaching maturity naturally.
Riverford butchery
We choose traditional beef breeds, which we believe give better flavour. We carefully hang and butcher the meat ourselves, then mature it for extra flavour and tenderness.
