Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds rump roast
garlic powder to taste

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup milk

Steps:

Provided by Mike Robinson

Categories     Main course

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

350g/12oz plain flour
4 large or 5 medium free-range eggs
800ml/1 pint 7fl oz milk (you may not need all of it)
vegetable oil, for cooking
salt
2.5kg/5½lb oven-ready rib of beef on the bone
1 tbsp English mustard powder
a drizzle of vegetable oil or 2 tsp duck fat
freshly ground black pepper
16 medium-sized Maris Piper or King Edward potatoes (each about 175g/6oz), peeled, cut into equal-sized pieces
8 garlic cloves
5 tbsp duck fat
8 sprigs thyme
sea salt, to taste
pan-roasting juices
350ml/12fl oz red wine
4 tsp plain flour

Steps:

  • First make the Yorkshire pudding batter. Sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl, add the eggs and gradually whisk in enough milk to make a smooth batter thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. Cover and leave to rest for six hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5. Take the beef out of the fridge and allow it to come back to room temperature.
  • Mix the mustard powder with a few teaspoons of water to make a paste. Rub the beef all over with the mustard paste and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil or duck fat in a large frying pan. When hot, add the beef and sear on all sides, until it is nicely brown all over.
  • Place the beef in a roasting tin and roast in the oven for one hour (11 minutes per 450g/1lb - this will give you rare meat). Cook for a further 15 minutes for medium-rare (14 minutes per 450g/1lb) or a further 30 minutes for well-done (16 minutes per 450g/1lb).
  • While the beef is cooking, prepare the roast potatoes. Peel the potatoes and parboil them in salted water for about seven minutes until almost cooked (they will still feel firm when pierced with a knife). Drain thoroughly and then shake them around a little in the colander until the outsides are fluffy.
  • Remove the beef from the oven, transfer it to a carving board and cover with foil. Allow it to rest in a warm place for 30 minutes. Turn up the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
  • Put the duck fat for the roast potatoes into a small roasting tin and heat in the oven for five minutes. Add the potatoes to the tin with the garlic cloves, thyme and some sea salt and toss them around until well coated in the fat. Return the tin to the oven and roast for 30-35 minutes or so until golden and crunchy.
  • Next make the Yorkshire puddings. Pour 5mm/½inch of vegetable oil into the well of each Yorkshire pudding tin - eight individual ones or two four-hole trays. Place the tins in the oven to heat for a few minutes.
  • When the oil is hot, remove from the oven. Give the Yorkshire batter a stir and carefully pour it into the tins. Take care, as the oil may splatter. Fill each well up to about halfway.
  • Place the tins back in the oven and cook for about 25-30 minutes alongside the roast potatoes, until they are well risen and golden.
  • While the potatoes and Yorkshire puddings are in the oven, make the gravy. Place the tin with its roasting juices on the hob over a medium heat. Stir in the flour and the red wine. Scrape well to get all the bits from the bottom of the tin into the gravy. Leave to simmer for ten minutes, then season.
  • To serve, carve the beef into thick slices and pile on plates with the Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes. Pour lashings of gravy over the top.

OLD ENGLAND TRADITIONAL ROAST BEEF AND YORKSHIRE PUDDING



Old England Traditional Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding image

Possibly the most famous of all English dishes, traditionally served for the "big" family meal of the week, Sunday Lunch. First a little about the Yorkshire Pudding. Different areas of England cook, serve and eat this in totally different ways. No single way is 'right' nor 'wrong'. It depends upon your family tradition and where you live. Originally the Yorkshire Pudding was eaten on its own as a first course with thick gravy. This was to fill your stomach with the cheap Yorkshire Pudding so that you would not eat so much of the more expensive meat in the next course. Now Yorkshire Puddings tend to be lighter and crispier and they are served and eaten with the meat course, with lashings of beef gravy with them! How to serve the roast beef: Some families carve the meat in the kitchen and bring it to the table on pre-warmed plates. Others carve the meat at the table so every one can see, that is how my Dad used to do it! Roast Beef is best served with roast potatoes, and a selection of freshly steamed seasonal vegetables, such as carrots, cabbage and broccoli. Have a gravy boat brimming full of gravy for diners to help themselves to. For special occasions consider making the gravy with a glass or two of wine! I have posted this recipe for 8 to 10 people; I always feel it's worth cooking more than you need, as you can have cold roast beef sandwiches for tea and of course make cottage pie the next day! The Yorkshire pudding listed below is already posted on Zaar - Recipe #203349, but I have added it here again, so you can cook them with the beef, following only one recipe for ease. My Mum's Yorkshire pudding recipe is simple, as long as all the ratio of measurements are equal, you can increase or decrease the amount of puddings you make!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 3h45m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 lbs rib sirloin beef
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces beef drippings
English mustard powder (optional)
1 cup beaten egg
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
salt
pepper
1 -2 tablespoon cooking oil or 1 -2 tablespoon dripping

Steps:

  • Combined method for cooking the Roast Beef and the Yorkshire Pudding:.
  • Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
  • Put the joint of beef into a shallow baking tray or tin.
  • Season the meat to taste with a little salt and black pepper, and English mustard powder if using.
  • Melt half of the beef dripping and pour over the meat and seasoning.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes and then reduce the heat to 190C/375F/Gas 5 for a further 1 1/2 hours. This will give you rare roast beef in the middle.
  • When cooked, put the meat in a warm place to rest for 20-30 minutes before carving and serving, and then turn up the heat to 240C,475F or gas mark 9.
  • Pour the remainder of the beef dripping into a cake baking tray (The type of baking tray used to make small cakes / muffins). Put the tray, with a little bit of dripping in each of the depressions in the tray, into the oven for 3 minutes or until you see the dripping smoke.
  • Remove from the oven and pour 2 tablespoons of the Yorkshire Pudding batter (see below for batter recipe) into each cake depression and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until well puffed up and golden brown. DO NOT Open the door for the first 10 minutes!
  • Meanwhile carve and portion the beef on to hot plates, and make a gravy using the juices left in the roasting. As soon as the Yorkshire pudding is ready, serve, with mustard and horseradish sauce, roast potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
  • To make the Yorkshire Pudding Mixture (Batter):.
  • Sift the flour into a large bowl.
  • and add the beaten eggs into the centre of the heap of flour.
  • Mix the water and the milk together in a jug. Pour the mixture slowly onto the flour and egg. As you start to pour the water/milk slowly beat the mixture together with a whisk. Add the salt and continue to beat. The puddings will be lighter if the batter includes a little air.
  • Once all the ingredients have been beaten together leave to stand, covered by a cloth, for 40 minutes or so.
  • Now you are at 'step 8' in the main cooking method. Your oven should be very hot and your tray for the puddings very hot.
  • Tip: The bigger the joint, the better the meat, and it should always be cooked on the bone. The meat should have a good covering of fat, be dark red in colour (which shows it has been hung properly), and have a good marbling of fat throughout.
  • Sprinkling some English mustard powder over the top of the meat gives a great crust and a fabulous taste.

Categories     Entree

Time 4h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 beef rib roast (small end), 4 to 6 lb
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Vegetable oil, if necessary
1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. For easy cleanup, line shallow roasting pan with foil. In pan, place beef, fat side up; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in center of the thickest part of beef and does not rest in fat or touch bone. (Do not add water.)
  • For medium-rare, bake 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes or until thermometer reads 135°F. Remove beef from pan onto carving board. Cover beef loosely with foil and let stand 15 to 20 minutes until thermometer reads 145°F. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10°F, and beef will be easier to carve.) For medium, bake uncovered 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes or until thermometer reads 150°F. Cover beef loosely with foil and let stand 15 to 20 minutes or until thermometer reads 160°F.
  • While beef is standing, make Yorkshire Pudding. Measure pan drippings, adding enough oil to drippings, if necessary, to measure 1/4 cup. Place hot drippings in 9-inch square pan; place pan in oven and heat until hot. Increase oven temperature to 450°F. In medium bowl, beat flour, milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the eggs with wire whisk just until smooth. Pour batter into pan of drippings and oil. Bake 18 to 23 minutes or puffy and golden brown (pudding will puff during baking but will deflate shortly after being removed from oven). Cut pudding into squares; serve immediately with beef.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality beef: Look for well-marbled beef, as this will produce the most flavorful roast.
  • Allow the beef to come to room temperature before cooking: This will help the meat cook more evenly.
  • Roast the beef at a high temperature initially, then reduce the heat to finish cooking: This will give the beef a nice crust while keeping it juicy on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the beef is cooked to your desired doneness: The internal temperature of the beef should be 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium, and 170°F for well-done.
  • Let the beef rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
  • Make sure your Yorkshire pudding batter is well-seasoned: The batter should be seasoned with salt, pepper, and herbs.
  • Pour the Yorkshire pudding batter into hot fat: This will help the batter to rise and create a crispy exterior.
  • Cook the Yorkshire puddings in a hot oven: The oven should be preheated to 450°F.

Conclusion:

Traditional roast beef with Yorkshire pudding is a classic British dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The beef is roasted to perfection and served with a flavorful gravy, while the Yorkshire puddings are light and fluffy. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is a great way to celebrate a special occasion.
