Please would you tell me EXACTLY how to cook this so that it's not the usual crap?

[CiaraLiara]

I am expecting this lump of meat to be tough and tasteless as that's all I ever manage.
But I though perhaps you could tell me exactly how to cook it so that it's tender and tasty? Please give me step by step instructions, don't assume I know anything.
Thanks!

I’ve had success from brining it. Soak it for a week in a salt, sugar, spice liquid.
Sear the outside and roast it lightly - or steam as a PP described- and it stays juicy and full of the spice flavours.

Season it, sear it and put it in a slow cooker.

Just reporting back. The meat tasted awful and had the hideous texture I expected. O well...

If you have a slow cooker dry the meat, put in the sc and add a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

Oops, obviously I did not read the full thread.

How did you cook it in the end?

I followed pretty much the instructions on the label which were consistent with most of what had been suggested here. I think the combination of me being a crap cook, buying a huge lump of cheap meat for 4 people and my can't be arsededness was not a good combo 😁

That's a shame.

How long did you rest the meat? IMHO resting is as important as cooking and meat can rest for a lot longer than you think, it is the resting that makes the joint moist. Meat is muscle and resting allows it to relax.

Bigger joints are easier to cook and usually come out better in my experience so it won't be that it's bigger. Meat needs a lot of resting as the pp said.

The simplest thing to cook ever and this way has never failed me. Slow cooker 8 hours. Beef in, 2 beef stock cubes and fill water to halfway above beef. It pulls apart with two forks.

Tell us what you did?

I use this method. No fuss, great beef every time. I bought a meat thermometer which takes the guesswork out of it. Once cooked, cover with foil and many tea towels to rest.
