Cut OverviewAbout This Cut

Topside is cut from the inside of the rear leg. It is very lean and has a tight grain. The muscle works hard, so connective tissue runs through it. Best cooked fast and thin or slow and whole.

Tip: Marinade with olive oil, lemon and garlic for 4 hours to soften the grain before pan-frying thin slices.
