What You’ll Need for Topside Beef
Essential Ingredients
1kg topside beef joint
2 tbsp olive oil
Sea salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Garlic Butter
Adding garlic butter over the cooked topside for a delicious flavour boost. Simply melt butter with minced garlic and drizzle it over the beef right after cooking. This extra richness complements the beef’s hearty taste perfectly and creates a delightful aroma.
Why Use Olive Oil Rub
Using an olive oil rub helps the seasoning stick to the topside beef, ensuring a well-flavoured crust. It also aids in the caramelization process, giving your roast beef a rich brown colour and delightful taste. Additionally, olive oil is a healthy fat that enhances the beef's flavour without overshadowing it.
