It's time to return to relaxed Sunday lunches, followed by a walk in the park and maybe even an indulgent afternoon snooze. To conjure up the ultimate roast, you want to be sure you're buying and cooking the best meat available. Sainsbury's Taste the Difference 21-day slow matured beef is matured on the bone to develop incredible tenderness and flavour. The beef is carefully selected, with attention to high welfare standards and - even better - is 100 per cent British, so you know you are buying the best. Follow our tips and we guarantee you'll produce the perfect Sunday lunch. Then all you need to do is relax and enjoy the flavours as well as the compliments. ### The perfect roast beef Serves 6 * 3lb 5oz/1.5kg Sainsbury's 21-day slow matured joint of beef * 1 tbsp olive oil * Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper * 1/3 pint/200ml Sainsbury's beef stock * Splash red wine * 1 tsp redcurrant jelly Preheat oven to 200C/400F/ gas mark 6. Remove all packaging from the beef and calculate the cooking time (see pack). Lightly brush olive oil over the beef and season with the salt and black pepper. Place beef on the middle shelf of the oven and cook for the calculated time, basting occasionally with the juices. Remove meat from the pan, place it on a carving dish, cover with foil and leave to rest in an warm place for 10 minutes. This is important as it allows the meat to relax. Place the roasting tin on the hob and add the stock, red wine and redcurrant jelly, stirring well to remove all the caramelised bits stuck to the base. Bring to the boil and allow to reduce slightly. ### Perfect timing ### Sainsbury's recommends oven cooking joints of its 21-day slow matured beef from chilled. Simply follow these guidelines or see pack for details: * Rare, 20 minutes per lb/500g plus 20 minutes extra. * Medium, 25 minutes per lb/ 500g plus 20 minutes extra. * Well done, 30 minutes per lb/ 500g plus 20 minutes extra. All cooking appliances vary, so the above times are only a guide. Always check the product is piping hot. To test when cooked, gently squeeze the roast beef with tongs. Rare will feel very soft, medium is springy while well done is firm. * **For more cooking tips and demonstration videos visit our [Sainsbury's Taste the Difference homepage][2]** [X][3] Share & bookmark Delicious Facebook Google Messenger Reddit Twitter Digg Fark LinkedIn Google Buzz StumbleUpon Y!
