Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C for a conventional oven or 160°C for a fan-assisted oven.

Prepare the Joint: Place the silverside joint on a cutting board and season it generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. You can also rub it with olive oil and any optional herbs or spices you like for added flavour.

Sear the Joint (Optional): If you want to add extra flavour and color to the meat, you can sear the joint in a hot, ovenproof pan with a little oil for a few minutes on each side until it's browned. This step is optional but will enhance the flavour.

Roast the Silverside: Place the seasoned or seared silverside joint in a roasting pan. If you seared it in a separate pan, transfer it to the roasting pan. Cover the joint loosely with foil.

Roasting Time: Roast the silverside in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes per 450 grams of meat. For medium-rare meat, aim for an internal temperature of 57-60°C, or adjust to your desired level of doneness.

Resting Period: Once the silverside is cooked to your liking, remove it from the oven, cover it with foil, and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier and more tender roast.

Carve and Serve: After resting, carve the silverside into thin slices, cutting against the grain for maximum tenderness. Serve with your favourite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and gravy.

Remember that cooking times can vary depending on your oven and the size of the silverside joint, so it's a good idea to use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for precise doneness. Enjoy your deliciously roasted silverside joint!
