Beef Joint In The Slowcook

streetgirl74

I have just got a fresh british beef joint from Tesco, will i be able to cook it in my slowcook to be ready for 5.30pm tonight or will it not be cooked in time? The weight is 0.948kg

What joint of beef is it??

It just says fresh british beef joint, its a value bit from tesco.

Sounds like it might be brisket then.

Not enough time in the slow cooker, perhaps put it in the oven on gas mark 3/4 for 2/3 hours.

Has it got cooking instructions on the back where you peel the label off?

Yes says for med beef cook for 25 mins per 500g plus 25 mins or well done 30mins per 500g plus 30mins

Think i will just do it in the oven now, but will remember for next time that it takes a bit longer in the slowcook :beer:

When I have put brisket in the slow cooker before I have left it while I was a work, on slow, so probably 8-9 hours or so.

It probably would have been fine. I bought a brisket of beef in Tesco's today, popped it in slow cooker on high when I got home at 1.30pm and we ate at 6.30pm, and it was delicious. As a rule of thumb if you would cook something for 8 hours on low, it will cook on high in about 4 hours, though as it is cooking more quickly it won't be quite as tender. That being said, our joint was lovely.
