Oven - Slow cook
Electric 140°C, Fan 120°C, Gas 2, 4-5 hours
This gentle slow cooking process is a combination of roasting and steaming and transforms the meat as the fibres relax and soak up the moisture and any flavours from the cooking liquor. This results in succulent meat and a base for a flavoursome gravy. Heat 1 tsp of oil in a frying pan over a high heat. Add diced vegetables (carrots, celery, onion) and soften. Place into a deep roasting tray. Oil and season surface of meat and sear all over in a hot frying pan. Place the joint on top of the vegetables. Add approximately 500ml stock to cover half the joint, cover with foil and place in the oven. Remove foil for last 10 mins of cooking. Baste the joint with the cooking juices and return to oven. Remove from the oven, wrap the joint in foil and rest for 15 mins before carving. For best results carve thinly. Do not reheat.
To make a gravy from the stock, place the cooking liquid into a pan on a high heat. Add cornflour, bring to the boil and simmer for 3 mins.

Superb
Can be cooked either in oven or air fryer (on roast setting). Slow cooking it is best, and given its natural flavour really only needs rubbed-in salt (and, in the air fryer, butter).
Really Lovely
Glad I took the risk, despite the poor reviews. I cooked it medium rare and it was a lovely piece of meat.
Not great - chewy and sinewy
So dissatisfied with the quality for a premium price. I used a Tom Kerridge recipe but most of us left half of it. Too chewy, veins and sinews. Wont buy again.
lovely
Seasoned with Himalayan sea salt and rainbow pepper, then rubbed joint with extra-virgin olive oil. left in the oven for one hour on gas mark five, did baste a few times, Left to rest for 20 minutes after I got out the oven, and was medium cooked, it was beautiful, served four adults and two dogs. Everyone had a beautiful Sunday roast.
Not the beef joint I was looking forward to.
I had been eagerly awaiting my Sunday roast beef on 18/2/24. Imagine my dismay when I actually cut the string off the joint of beef, it was not one joint of beef but two smaller joints tied together. That would not normally be a problem, however both smaller joints of beef had an extremely tough covering of gristle running the length of the joints. By the time I had cut away the gristle from the outside of the joints, I noticed one of the pieces of meat had a vein of gristle running through the joint. This meant I had to cut this away also. So instead of being able to cut nice thin slices of beef for the family, we were left with bits and pieces of meat to plate up. Don't get me wrong the meat that was available to eat was very moist and tender, however we probably ended up with about half the meat we had purchased. I expect better from Marks and Spencer's after all their products are not cheap. I think retailers should be forced to put in their descriptions of beef joints if they are more than one piece of meat that is rolled together to make one larger joint. Had this information been available I most certainly would not have purchased it. When I purchase a joint of beef I expect to get a joint of one piece of meat, not sub prime pieces tied together to form one joint. I think the only way to buy decent joints of beef is to use a butcher so you can watch the beef being cut and tied in front of you to ensure you get a one whole piece of beef. Sunday dinner ruined, I was fuming M and S / Ocado you really must do a lot better with the beef products you are selling to your customers.
