900g of Silverside Roast Beef

1-2 Tbsp Olive Oil

Freshly grounded Black Pepper

1 large onion or 2 shallots sliced

3 cloves of garlic diced

450ml of beef stock

 

Method

1

Preheat the oven to 160°c/Fan 140°c/Gas 3 and bring the beef to room temperature before roasting

2

Massage the beef with oil and season generously with black pepper

3

Place a large flameproof pan over a high heat and brown the beef on all sides. Then transfer to a tray.

4

Take the flameproof pan off the heat and cook the onions and garlic. Once cooked add to the beef in the tray.

5

Pour your beef stock into the tray with the beef, onions and garlic. Once that is done create a tight lid using tinfoil over the tray and cook in the preheated oven for 3 hours until tender (the cooking time will increase depending on how big the beef joint is).

6

Once the beef is cooked set it aside to rest for 30 minutes in the tinfoil you used as a lid.

7

With the remaining stock and juices in the tray pour that into a saucepan and bring to the boil to create a very flavoursome gravy.

8

Carve the meat and serve with vegetables and side of your choice.
