Topside of Beef by Antonio Carlucci?

Just seen his tv programme which showed a rolled topside of beef with sprigs of rosemary. Does anyone have the recipe? I thought it would be a nice Christmas dinner as it's going to be chilly here, even though it's supposed to be summer. Thanks.

Serves: 6 to 8



2 medium size onions

2 large carrots

3 sticks celery

1kg (2-1/4 pounds) beef, topside

2 springs rosemary

100g (4 ounces) margarine

5 tbsp. olive oil

5 sage leaves

2 garlic cloves

1 litre (1-3/4 pint) dry red wine

500ml (18 fluid ounces) stock

Freshly ground pepper

Salt



Chop the onions, carrots, and celery into small cubes and put aside.



With a knife slightly flatten the piece of meat to make it easier to roll.



Place the rosemary inside roll and bind with a string. Season the joint all over with salt and pepper.



Heat the margarine and oil in a large pan, add the beef and seal well until brown all over, set aside.



Add the chopped vegetables to the pan and fry until golden. Return the beef to the pan. Add sage and garlic, wine and stock.



Cover and simmer for 1-3/4 to 2 hours.
