Silverside Roast Beef
Silverside of beef is a large, lean, boneless cut of meat with a course grained texture. It is mostly used for roasting joints, braising steaks or for dicing.
Taken from the hind quarter, between the rump and the leg Silverside needs a gentle moist cooking method to get a texture that melts off the fork.

Silverside comes from the outside of the rear leg and sits between the knuckle and the topside. It’s named after the silver wall of connective tissue that sits on the side of the cut, removed before cooking.
100% grass fed beef, our silverside roasting joint is hand tied. We leave a little basting fat on to ensure a tasty and strongly flavoured roast. Delicious hot with all the trimmings, and fantastic cold in sandwiches the next day.
This is a cheap and tasty choice for a roast. For best result – cook medium- well done.
