these are normally good quality, if you buy the frying steak, braising steak you can cut steaks off this with no issues, of course if you like the likes of Rump or Sirloin its not a comparison. if you have a mincer this also makes very lean steak mince at a much cheaper price than buying the mince itself.

I have a mincer that has never been used. Might buy a few to mince up on the weekend. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks OP. Will buy a few joints. Will mince some to make bolognese, pasties, chilli, and cubed to make greek beef and steak and ale. Love batch baking.

Topside/Silverside (Which I'd imagine this is) can dry out in the slow cooker if you do it too long. 3-4 hours at medium is probably the limit, unless you get a bit with a thicker fatcap.
Good tip!

Just sorted out my freezer and counted 125 portions of various home made dinners. Only 3 adults to feed at the moment, until the twins are back from Uni for Christmas. Thank goodness for chest freezers.

Remember. if mincing the beef, first, cut the beef into strips that will fit into the throat of the mincer, then place the meat into the freezer to 'firm up' before mincing. Produces a better mince rather than the meat turning to mush.

depends on the mincer, some wont push the meat through if it firms up and if its a household mixer attachment you could burn the motor or shorten its life, mush normally is because you haven't got the mincer tight enough.
