Beef Round – Topside / Silverside / Baby Top, Chilled, Vacuum-Packed

Beef Round – Topside / Silverside / Baby Top | Premium Latvian Beef

Carefully selected Latvian beef from the hindquarter round, characterised by relatively lean muscle structure, distinctive beef flavour and excellent versatility. Suitable for roasting, roast beef, braising and a wide range of traditional and professional beef dishes.

CEPLĪŠI M.S. Beef Round is sourced from carefully selected cattle raised in Latvia.

The beef hindquarter contains several substantial muscle cuts, including Topside and Silverside. These cuts are valued for their relatively lean composition, characteristic beef flavour and adaptability to different cooking methods.

Depending on the individual muscle and its preparation, beef round can be roasted whole, gently braised, sliced into portions or used in slow-cooked dishes.

Choosing the right cooking method helps bring out the natural flavour and achieve the desired texture.

Characteristics of Beef Round

Relatively Lean Meat. Round muscles generally contain less intramuscular fat than highly marbled steak cuts.

Distinctive Beef Flavour. The meat pairs well with herbs, root vegetables, garlic and savoury sauces.

Practical Whole-Muscle Cuts. Large muscles can be roasted whole or divided into convenient portions.

Versatile Preparation. Suitable for roast beef, braised beef, stews, goulash and other recipes.

Professional Kitchen Convenience. The size and shape of these cuts support portion planning and efficient kitchen preparation.

Topside, Silverside and Baby Top

Topside. A relatively lean cut from the inside of the beef hindquarter, commonly used for roasting, roast beef and thinly sliced portions.

Silverside. A cut from the outer hindquarter, often with a firmer connective tissue structure. Particularly suitable for gentle roasting and longer, moist cooking.

Baby Top. A trade designation used for certain beef round preparations; the exact anatomical specification depends on the supplier's cutting standard.

Tenderness and optimal cooking methods may differ between individual muscles.

Culinary Uses

Roast Beef. Prepare a suitable whole-muscle cut in the oven, monitoring the internal temperature.

Thinly Sliced Roast Beef. After cooking and resting, slice thinly against the grain for sandwiches, salads and plated dishes.

Braised Beef. Slowly cook with onions, carrots, garlic, stock and herbs until the desired tenderness is achieved.

Beef Goulash. Dice the beef and simmer gently with vegetables, seasoning and sauce.

Beef in Sauce. Use in traditional dishes with mushroom, onion or mustard sauces.

CEPLĪŠI M.S. – Carefully Selected Latvian Beef

CEPLĪŠI M.S. specialises in producing high-quality Latvian beef.

We work with Latvian cattle farmers who pay attention to feeding practices and the development of desirable meat characteristics.

Every beef carcass is individually assessed for muscle development, meat colour and fat cover. We also measure the pH of every carcass as part of our quality control process.

Our steak cuts are aged for at least 15 days to support tenderness and flavour development.

This approach helps us select beef according to the quality standards of CEPLĪŠI M.S.

How to Prepare Beef Round

1. Preparation. Remove the beef from its vacuum packaging, pat dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic or herbs.

2. Browning. For roasts or braised dishes, briefly sear the surface to develop flavour.

3. Choose the Cooking Method. Gentle oven roasting is suitable for selected muscles, while firmer cuts may benefit from prolonged braising in stock or sauce.

4. Monitor Temperature. Use a food thermometer and follow the internal temperature appropriate for your recipe and applicable food safety guidance.

5. Rest and Slice. Allow roasted meat to rest before slicing against the grain.

Avoid excessive drying, especially when preparing leaner round muscles.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted root vegetables, mushroom sauce, caramelised onions or fresh salads.

Thinly sliced roast beef is also excellent in sandwiches, salads and cold platters.
