Longhorn Beef
The traditional joint for a pot roast, and the one for salt beef. Lean, wrapped in fat and tied by hand.
Silverside comes from the outside of the hind leg, named for the silvery sheen of the membrane along one side. It’s lean and firm, and has been a mainstay of British kitchens for centuries, whether slow-cooked in a pot with root vegetables, roasted and sliced thin, or brined to make salt beef. We wrap each joint in a layer of fat and tie it, to keep it moist through a long cook.
From our slow-grown Longhorn herd, silverside has a depth of flavour that commercial beef can’t match. It’s hung on site for at least 35 days and butchered by our own team.
1.5kg serves five to six – a family pot roast.
2.5kg serves eight to ten – with plenty for cold cuts.
Weights are minimum weights, so your joint may be a little heavier but never lighter, and you won’t pay for the difference.
Allergens: None
For a pot roast, brown the joint all over, then cook it covered with stock, onions and root vegetables at 150°C for three hours, until tender.
To roast, start at 220°C for twenty minutes, then drop to 160°C and allow around fifteen minutes a kilo for rare. Take it out at 52°C at the centre, rest for twenty minutes, and carve very thinly.
Always prepared to order and delivered chilled, in insulated packaging. All our meat is fresh, never frozen, so if you’re not ready to serve, you can freeze on arrival. Alternatively, follow the use by dates and keep in the fridge before cooking. And don’t worry if you won’t be in for the delivery – our packaging means your order will stay in peak condition for up to 12 hours.
We pack every order carefully, but if your delivery is late, damaged, incomplete or not properly chilled, please contact us on the day it arrives, on 01449 553606 or at [email protected]. Tell us your order number and send photos of the outer box, the packaging inside and the product labels.
Longhorn cattle provide the meat that made England famous for its fine roast beef. In our opinion, there is no better breed for the distinctive flavour of British beef as it’s always tasted.
