Roast Beef

[fairycakes69]

Doing a roast dinner tomorrow for 8 adults and 2 kids, always do chicken or pork, but fancy beef for a change. We like our meat very tender, falling apart really, what type of meat do I buy, how much and how long do I cook it for. The men in family refuse to eat veg so need extra meat for them (I brought them up on eating veg, where did I go wrong)

Topside, cooked very slowly in the open.

Delia's recipes are pretty much foolproof.

I know it's too late, but for next time......topside cooked overnight in the slow cooker is just yumeeeeeee!

Agree with Alice. Slow cooking is a failure proof and delicious way of cooking things.
We had lamb steaks yesterday.

Blade of beef slow cooked is best, it does have a line of fatty grissle throught the centre but will be much more succulent and taistier than topeside or even silverside.

Thank you for the answers, ended up with chicken, by the time I'd got to tesco there wasn't any beef left. typical. I'm going to go for topside in the slow cooker.
