Just cooked roast beef joint for Sunday lunch, was top rump 21 days matured. Cooked it at the temperature stated on front of joint packaging rested it afterwards for 15 mins, well tough as old boots, ended up putting it in the pressure cooker for 15 minutes then it was fine, this seems to happen so often, any thoughts everyone.

If you buy from a supermarket the joint it’s very often vacuum packed. Open the pack and allow it to sit/rest for at least an hour.

Bought a lovely big piece of brisket in Tesco today. All half price. Cooked slowly it just melts in the mouth. I always buy it when it’s half price and it is always superb.
