Ingredients
1kgBeef topside
4tbspOlive oil
Salt and pepper To Season
Instructions
Heat your oven to 210° and allow it time to get really hot
Heat a large frying pan with 2 tbsp of Olive oil on high so the oil’s very hot (not smoking!)
Rub another table spoon of oil onto your beef and season it well with some salt and pepper. Then using your hands, massage the seasoning into the beef with the oil all the way around so it’s well worked into the meat
Sear the beef in the hot oil frying pan, letting each side brown nicely, turning it round often to make sure all sides are browned
Don’t worry too much about the ends. These will pick up some color as you’re browning the sides, if you can still see some red meat on the ends, leave them
Put the topside into the baking tray and set the timer for half way through your preferred cooking time (see post). Half way through take the beef out and pour the juices from the pan on the top of the beef and put it back in the oven for the rest of the cooking time
Take it out when it's done and leave it to rest for 15 minutes with a clean dry tea towel over the top of it
