21p/100mlTopside is often used for fast roasting, but it also works well for slow braising. Here, the Malbec gravy makes an appropriately Argentinian foil for a herby, spicy chimichurri sauce, which cuts through the rich flavours brilliantly. If you can, make the chimichurri sauce a day ahead and keep it in the fridge – the flavours will mellow.
Please note that while we take every care to ensure the product and recipe information displayed on our website is correct, in the event that a product is unavailable, alternatives may be displayed and/or a substitution may be given.

First, make the chimichurri (ideally a day before). Mix all the ingredients in a jar, seal with a lid, shake and chill in the fridge.
Preheat the oven to 150°C, gas mark 2. Set a casserole dish or large saucepan with a lid over a high heat. Add the oil and, when hot, brown the meat all over (8-10 minutes). Transfer the meat to a plate, reduce the heat to medium, add the onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent browning. Pour in the wine, boil for 2 minutes, then add the stock.
Return the beef to the casserole with the carrots, tomato, bay and oregano sprigs; cover, transfer to the oven and roast for 1 hour. Turn the beef and recover, leaving the lid ajar, then cook for a further 11⁄2 hours until the meat is tender.
Pick out and discard the oregano. Transfer the vegetables, beef and bay to a platter; rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing the meat across the grain. Meanwhile, for the gravy, boil the cooking juices rapidly to reduce by 1⁄3-1⁄2. Spoon some gravy over the beef and transfer the remainder to a jug. Spoon the chimichurri over the platter and serve the rest in a bowl alongside. Discard the bay leaves and serve with celeriac and potato mash, braised red cabbage and sautéed kale, if liked.
