Beef excursions Just how good does that lump of beef look? It tasted better. This was for a family shin-dig down in Lincoln. I should have brought down a joint but it was a good excuse to go to Kenny's Elite meats in Lincoln. The cut below was a Lincoln Red silverside. Garlic crushed with our new friend barrel salted herring, and smeared over the surface of the beef. I tucked sage leaves under the string and cooked it on the Weber bbq, rotisserie style, except no spit, against a wall of charcoal. Just over an hour for a 2kg joint and the result was stunning. It was a major gamble, silverside is not really a rapid roaster, but the beef looked quite young and pale, and  Kenny hangs his meat very well. I did slice a bit off the side in its raw state to check for tenderness, an indeed it was easily chewed..
