That's because you overcooked it

Great price. Heat added.
I'll pick up a couple of joints next weekend................................perhaps some beef too!

Offer is still on

One for roasting and other one just cut nice thick steaks from it. Bingo result

Certainly can
"I know silverside is traditionally a joint more suited to slow cooking/pot roasting because of its composition but my butcher suggested fast roasting it at 220C in a really hot oven for about 40 minutes with about 15-20 minutes resting time which he says should give me a rare but tender and juicy roast.
OK, I just cooked 950g of silverside beef for 40 minutes at 220 C (in a hot oven) after rubbing it liberally with salt, pepper & crushed rosemary. I also poured some sweet Soy (Kicap Manis) over it to add some sweetness. After a strict 40 minutes I took it out and it sat for 30 minutes before carving.

It was perfectly rare, deliciously textured and moist. I'd say your butcher was right!"

"Going to roast it fast for rare silverside"

Do you have any clue what you're on about?

Just got 2 bits for just over £12, couple of roast joints and a good few stews coming out of that.
Just two of us so goes far.

Has anyone found out - what cut of beef it is?
"Easy carve" doesn't tell us that.

Last time they did this there was a range of different joints, I managed to get s couple of bits of top rump which were excellent

If you have a mincer, this can also be minced, works out cheaper and leaner than buying mince.

Someone needs to put on here how to cook the beef maybe they will like it lol

One would wonder what people do with their phones, 3 min call, job done. If in doubt just ask mum, or dad. Even Abba sings, "Does your mother know."

I would imagine the outcome would be the same.

You just cant help some people

Tuf as old boots,

Picked up a few Topside ones today, roasted it covered in a medium oven for 3.5 hours then a half hour rest before slicing. Nice meat for the money. I expect tough as old boots if you fast roast without extra fat. Silverside might be nice for home made salt beef or pot roasts. Also had leg of lamb at £4/kg.

I bought three joints today.
Froze one whole, cut one up into slices and some diced and froze.
I'll cook one on Sunday for a roast and freeze a few slices.

Very popular today in my local Asda and they had plenty, both pre-packed and on the butchers counter. I bought two joints from the butchers counter and a pre-packed nice joint of silverside.

Yes, good gear, usually stock up when it hits £4 - £4.50 kg......thanks

I buy this most weeks and cook it in slow cooker, it falls apart and is lovely

Further proof of the greedy margins major rip off Britain supermarkets work on was £6/kg they're not a charity but all of a sudden it's £4/kg

Time to make up some biltong again!

Got myself a nice 2 & a bit KG joint, Just over £8. Going to roast it fast for rare silverside. Pork Shoulder is £2/KG at the mo as well, so got a nice big piece of that for pulled pork at my mate's wrestlemania party :smiley:

Will buy some freeze it for easter sunday

Nope. Nothing showing online. Is this area specific? I'm in the south East. Sussex.

looks disgusting.

Off to have a look later.
I'll cook one large joint, slice and freeze.
The other one I'll chop up.

Valid to March 28 is update.

Generally good quality. When you have cooked it, wrap it in tin foil, a towel or two and leave it to rest in an insulated box for an hour. It will melt in your mouth when it comes out.

Thanks for posting this deal .. I purchased Asda beef the last time it was on offer at £4 kg and it was fine

This stuff is normally £10/kg init?

personally I'm not keen on Asda meat, more of a morrisons man.

It's beautiful, very tasty

What is the quality of Asda meat like? I have never tried their butcher meat.

Nice freezer still has many of these in from December when they were this price at Morrisons and also full from the gammon misprice the other day!

ohhhh get the yorkshire puddings out.

Great price. Heat added.
