For a perfect weekend lunch or evening meal, serve the mini beef roasting joint with homemade Yorkshire puddings, crispy roast potatoes, beef gravy and steamed vegetables. Make sure that you remove the mini beef roasting joint from the fridge at least an hour before serving. It is essential that the meat is at room temperature if you are to cook it evenly. Next, rub a little oil over the joint and season it well with salt and pepper. Heat a large, heavy frying pan and bring the heat into the meat until it is seared all over and nicely browned. Place in a large roasting tin and cook for approximately an hour, according to your preference. If you like rare beef, reduce the cooking time.
The best meat deserves the best preparation. That’s why we work with master butchers who have prepared this mini beef roasting joint to the very highest standard. Our butchers have trimmed and tied this meat expertly so it is ready to cook and serve. This means you can slice the mini beef roasting joint easily and portion it fairly.
The Black Farmer makes sure that we get the absolute best and most sustainable breeds for the season. By working with local produce and farmers, we promote and encourage a sustainable and ethical approach to meat eating. This approach reduces animal stress and lowers food miles as much as possible.
