Ribeye's patient cousin: seared hard, eight slow hours, pulled into ropes and doused in its own liquor. A week of proper carnivore eating for about a tenner a kilo.

Instructions
Dripping into a screaming pan, joint seared hard on every face, four minutes a side. The slow cooker cannot brown anything, so this crust is the flavour of the whole pot.
Joint into the slow cooker, stock around it, lid on. Low for 8 hours or high for 5. It is done when a fork twists through it without argument.
Rest twenty minutes, pull it into ropes, and pour the pot liquor back over. Salt at the table.
