Cooking Instructions (General)

Remove all packaging (including absorbent pad, if present) and allow to breathe for 10 minutes. Remove butters and set aside. Use separate kitchen utensils and surfaces for raw meat and cooked, or wash between uses. Wash hands after handling raw meat. Unwrap and dispose of packaging carefully. All cooking appliances vary.  This is a guide only.

Oven cook (From Chilled)

Preheat oven. Place the joint in a greaseproof paper-lined roasting tray with 1 tbsp of oil, place in the centre of the oven and cook for the time stated. Add butters to the top of the joint during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Due to the natural variability in the thickness of the meat, the cooking instructions provided are a base guide. For thicker joints, additional cooking time may be required. Once cooked, baste and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Ensure that the meat surface is properly cooked and sealed to kill any bacteria, even if the middle of the meat is still pink. Remove strings before carving. Do not reheat once cooled.
