Oven - Slow cook
Electric 140C, Fan 120C, 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.
