nutrition (estimate)

Ingredients

  • 3kg housekeeper's cut of beef
  • Olive Oil
  • Pinch of Salt and pepper
  • 1 splash water

For the Yorkshire puddings

  • 4 eggs
  • 100ml full fat milk
  • 100ml plain flour
  • 1 pinch salt
  • Olive Oil or beef dripping, to grease

METHOD

  1. For the roast, simply season and rub the Housekeepers Cut with olive oil. Place in an oven tray and add some water – this stops the meat from burning at the bottom and also keeps it moist by releasing steam. Roast in a preheated oven at 200oC/gas mark 6 for 20 minutes, then reduce to 160oC/gas mark 21⁄2. Allow 1 hour per kg cooking time in the oven, for medium doneness. Allow another 30 minutes for the meat roast to rest before carving
  2. For the Yorkshire puddings, place all the ingredients in a blender and blend. Pre-heat the oven to 190oC/gas mark 5.
  3. In a muffin tray, place 1 tablespoon of the oil or beef dripping to each mould and grease all sides.
  4. Place the muffin tray in the oven until smoking hot, then remove and fill with the Yorkshire batter half-way full. Return to the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Do not open the oven door as it may cause the batter to drop.
  5. Serve the Beef and Yorkshire puddings with roast vegetables and gravy.

TIP: Vary the roast vegetables depending on what's in season, such as beetroot, parsnips and carrots during the colder months or green beans and asparagus in the summer.
