The tastiest beef joint for roasting?
The tastiest beef joint for roasting?My sister always come to me for Christmas dinner, just us two this year. On chatting about the turkey, she said it would be nice to have something different. As we both have to watch the pennies throughout the year and never buy a joint of beef, we thought that this would be a real treat for us. We share the cost but it is me that has to do the cooking which I am happy about. However I have to decide on the best beef to buy. We both like our meat well done or slightly pink in the middle so I must decide what to buy. Any ideas please for a tasty cut!!

Re: The tastiest beef joint for roasting?We rarely buy a joint, but beef topside is our preference.
Re: The tastiest beef joint for roasting?I just love brisket, although not really chrismassy.

What I had in mind but so long since I cooked one. A luxoury! I am now a widow and live with my memories.
Re: The tastiest beef joint for roasting?Brisket needs really slow cooking, then is very tasty, when the tough connecting bit go to jelly. With carrots also cooked soft.

mmmmm .... making me hungry just thinking about it
I'm in the same boat - I never buy joints of beef and it's been so long since I ate home-cooked roast beef so I wouldn't have a clue. I'm also worried that I might overcook beef and end up with chewy leather which would be a disaster after spending so much on a joint. Anyway, I googled and found this (BBC Good Food) on the search page:
Personally, I would prefer roast pork if I decided against a bird (that cooks very well in the halogen oven and makes really lovely crackling)
Re: The tastiest beef joint for roasting?First off it needs to be aged. M&S do some fabulous joints of beef to order. I love a BIG piece of rolled sirloin, that roasts pink beautifully. If you don't mind some fat then a rib of beef is to die for and cooks pink. I have tried all sorts of cuts of beef and these 2 are in my opinion the best. Some people would probably say fillet but to me that is flavourless and a total waste of money. Go on their website and look. Dry aged sirloin and dry aged rib.

fabulous prices too They do look good ...
Re: The tastiest beef joint for roasting?Thanks for the info LL. Someone near me who's brother is a butcher said Sirloin, so that is what it will be. Like you LL, I can't remember the last time I cooked a lovely joint of beef and also don't want to destroy it. I'm sure that my years old cookery book will help me out with cooking times.
