Topside

 Shepleys Butchers Topside is a flexible and lean cut of beef that works amazing in many different recipes. Our talented butchers  trim each piece to assure the best quality. There are countless ways to prepare food using our Topside. This cut yields meat that is juicy, flavourful, and tender when cooked slowly in stews, curries, and casseroles. For a more traditional and elegant supper, it can also be roasted or grilled, offering a lean and delectable substitute for other cuts of beef.

Cooking

Heat the slow cooker to high.

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pan and brown the beef, then put in the slow cooker skin-side up.

Cook on low for around 6 hrs, then strain the liquid into a pan. Keep the meat covered in foil so it stays warm.

Bring the liquid to the boil, then simmer until reduced by a third and season. For thicker gravy, mix cornflour with 2 tbsp water and whisk into the boiling liquid. Serve the beef with the gravy, along with some mash and greens.
