And this is nothing like a good Sunday roast! bought a joint last week and as a regular meat eater can only say this was the toughest Beef I have ever had. Would pay the extra at Tesco and give your teeth a Christmas break.

had one last Sunday tender and tasty. maybe you need cooking lesson's. always go for medium rare, if you go for well done any meat will be like old boot leather.

I had the same experience last Sunday, really tough joint, looked great uncooked but after cooking it was tough and dry.

Thank you for your link. I did check before posting mine and yours didn't show. Your offer when posted was store specific and as you say not online. I've posted deal which is online now and not store specific, otherwise folks wouldn't realise deal is now Nationwide and instore as well as online.

Well said. I wouldn't expect something this cheap to be top quality. You can always try cooking it for longer at a lower heat.

Why not. It's called a loss leader.

Is this off the counter or pre-packaged?

Haven't done my shop yet today but I'd imagine at this price prepackaged.

Yes, it really is all about the cooking technique with beef joints. In a nutshell, low heat, longer cooking time all the way. And don't forget to add a bit of water and a 30 minute 'standing time' into the mix...

Had one of these last weekend. Took my time sorting through the joints and if lucky you will find some Vac Packed Top Rump joints in there if you know what you are looking for (or ask the in store butcher). It was melt in the mouth (like mine nice and rare).

Not somebody I've ever felt inclined to watch. You're the one with the recommendation minus the oven temperature, minus the time per kilo and apparently, with a professional kitchen with temperatures akin to a steel works where you can add 30 minutes standing time without your beef getting cold. Or maybe, you reheat it in a pan of bisto. :smile:

It was online last week, I checked before getting a pack instore, but was told in store that there is an error in this offer on the website, and it is beef roasting joint, not Topside.

20 mins per.pound plus 20 mins is what I always do usually cook around 190/200 and then let stand with foil for at least 20 mins

at this price every day is a roast day. (although my kids will hate me saying that )

If it's an error how come a number of people on here say they've bought it and it's fine? If incorrect surely Morrisons would have corrected it on their website by now?

You would think so, but it was the butcher who said it was incorrectly described as topside on their website. No mention of topside on the packs we got, just British roasting joint, so likely a variety of cuts.
Opening post
Worth buying bigger than you need and cutting in half and freezing it.
Product info states from £8/joint but drop down menu offers small joints from £3.12.
