Cut Overview
About This Cut
Topside is from the inner rear leg, lean and tight-grained with very little fat. That means no margin for error on temperature. Rub generously with tallow and roast at 180°C, pulling at 55 to 57°C for medium-rare. Rest tightly covered for 20 minutes minimum. Slices beautifully cold the next day for sandwiches and rolls.
Reducing fat content: Very lean cut. Avoid well-done as it becomes dry. Barding with bacon or beef tallow helps retain moisture.
