I hate cooking beef. Can cook a joint absolutely perfect. Following week, cook a similar joint, same weight, cook it the same, and disaster.
If I was giving any advice, it would be to check it about 20 mins before you think its ready then 10 minutes before. if its under cooked you can put it back in. If its overcooked....... |

"Slow cooker.
My sister in law did it in the slow cooker when we went for dinner. It was amazing! I’ve done pork in mine but never beef. Didn’t think it would work but it really does. "
So easy and you can't go wrong. |

I've done red wine in the past, but yeah some water at least.
You also get the best base for gravy! |

Salt your meat. I can’t stress enough how much difference it makes.
A few hours before you’re going to cook, or even overnight if you plan ahead, cover the meat really thoroughly in salt and put it back in the fridge. Rinse that salt off and pat dry when it’s time to prep and cook. |

As an aside….have you seen the f’kin price of it. 
I fancied a roast beef today but a joint to feed the 3 of us, and a little leftovers was £20!!
Yes double exclamation mark worthy. |

If I had the time, sear the surface and then slow cook in a mixture of water, spices, seasoning, lemon juice, vinegar, several cloves of garlic and a whole onion, skin off, with a slice running through one side.
No time, then repeat the above in a pressure cooker. |

Always good if you can truss it, some salt and pepper, then sear it first to give it a nice colour. 20mins per pound in 180° preheated oven and 15mins extra for rare( my preference) or 20-25 mins for medium. Rest for at least 15 to 20 mins. Enjoy |

"Just googled. Jamie Oliver gives a great little tutorial.
Brown it first to seal in juice and flavour then cook on a bed of veggies for moisture and flavour.
Mmmmmm"
This is how I've always done it more or less. YouTube Tom Kerridge, his way looks banging |
