📦 Appears in: All Packs — Topside (~460g)
Lean, flavourful — and the secret to the best cold beef sandwiches of your life
Topside is lean, which means it wants gentle heat. At 150–160°C, with moisture in the pan, it transforms into something genuinely excellent. It appears in all four of your share packs, which means developing a relationship with this cut is one of the best investments you can make as a Your Farmer member.
💡 Topside makes the best cold roast beef for sandwiches. Cook to medium-rare on Sunday, slice thinly the next day, serve with Dijon mustard, horseradish, and rocket on good bread. This is the lunch you've been waiting for.
