Roast Beef and Yorkshire Puddings





On Sunday I made roast beef and yorkshire puddings, Its a tradition back home in the UK to have a roast dinner on Sunday's as a dietitian we always joke with folks that its the only day of the week folks eat their veggies, sad but it can be true.

So I roasted the beef with fresh herbs (rosemary, cloves, thyme, sage), garlic, a little red wine with carrots and potatoes all in all pretty good. But a wee bit dry, I did it at 300 for 2 hours, help me fellow food bloggers and foodies what did I do wrong?

But the Yorkshire puddings were lovely, small but good all the same, the best are made by my Grandma who hails from Yorkshire!

Ingredients:
  • about 2 cups of milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup of flour multi purpose flour
Method
  1. blend it all together until you get a pancake batter
  2. heat the oven to 400 needs to be nice and hot, add a little olive oil to the bottom of the muffin pan then fill with batter and add to the oven for 10-15 minutes.

Oh and as a little treat with a cup of tea the left over Yorkshire puddings are great with jam, or golden syrup!

Has anyone else had Yorkshire puddings?

  2. I'm very fascinated by yorkshire puddings! I love making them and watching them through the oven window. It is amazing how they rise up right before your eyes.

  3. I love yorkshire pudding! It is great with roasted beef.

    Did you bring the beef to room temperature before roasting, it helps!

  8. Hmm yorkies! Couldnt live without them and yours look perfect. I think 2 hours may be a bit too long for the beef, depending on the meat cut. If a nice tender cut I would stick to just over an hour :)

  13. My grandma's yorkshire puddings were the best, big and puffy and you could fill the inside with gravy. Oddly I've never made them myself but then I don't often roast beef at home and I wouldn't serve them with any other meat.

  24. Wonderful pudding...sounds great with roast beef..another new recipe for me ..thanks Rebecca !

  25. Cooking the beef in the post, braise it with a little water or beef broth and leave the lid on the pot and keep it on a low simmer. If you're using the oven and roasting the beef open, you need to put water or a combo if beef stock and water in the pan below the rack and baste the roast at least every 15 minutes. If it's browned to your satisfaction, tent it with foil and continue to baste it.

    The Yorkshore pudding looks grand. I've never tried it before, you make it look so easy and very tempting!

  27. I have never had the the opportunity to enjoy a yorkshire pudding-sad for me, because it looks quite delicious.

    As for the meat being a bit dry? That depends on the cut of meat...You may have just over cooked the meat a bit.

  28. Had it in England and I love it with REAL gravy!
    I have no food nor have I unpacked any pots or pans and you are making me so hungry:-)

  30. Oh my goodness.. I love Yorkshire puddings and roast. How perfect for you to post this a few days before the weekend. Now I have time to run out and get my ingredients!

  31. I had this once, on a lay over when I was taken to the wrong airport in London...was so cool to find out what all the fuss was about, and I mean growing up in the sticks this meal sounded like heaven, and it was a little piece of it too!

    Yours looks great!

  32. Absolutely wonderful! We did roast beast and yorkies recently too. I just love them.

  33. This is my dream meal! I always save my Yorkshire pudding for dessert though and have it with golden syrup like you suggested and lashings of vanilla ice cream!

    I always under-cook beef just a little because it finishes cooking while it rests (under a foil tent).

    Best wishes,
    Natasha.

  37. I love yorkshire pudding and yours look lovely.
    I think the cut of meat and the fat marbling in it has a lot to do with the tenderness of the cooked meat.

  43. Your yorkshire puddings look great! I usually do my roast at 275, but it depends on how big it is. I think they say about an hour for each pound. It looks really delicious and comforting though.

  48. those yorkshire pudding are just ready for the taking... I want to grab one!
    for the beef cover it with tinfoil it helps... don't turn or poke the roast to trap the juices in.
    I also carmelize/or brown the beef first...
    but then again i'm not a chef so I'm not an expert hahaha... but I hope it helps!
