Start your cooking journey with a vibrant visual that captures the essence of this dish.
Ingredients:
To prepare this delightful dish, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 3-4 lb piece of beef roast (such as ribeye or sirloin)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 4 large eggs
Instructions:
Follow these steps to create your classic roast beef with Yorkshire pudding:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Season the beef roast generously with salt and pepper. In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast the beef until it reaches your desired doneness, about 20 minutes for medium rare. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (about 130°F or 54°C for medium rare). Remove from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
- While the beef is resting, prepare the Yorkshire pudding. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt. In a separate bowl, combine milk and eggs, then gradually whisk into the flour mixture until smooth.
- Return the skillet (with drippings from the beef) to the oven and heat until the drippings are very hot. Pour the Yorkshire pudding batter into the hot drippings, and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and puffed up.
- Slice the roast beef and serve it with the Yorkshire pudding, drizzling with some of the pan juices for added flavor.
This classic roast beef with Yorkshire pudding recipe is not only a delicious main course but also a heartwarming way to gather around the table. Enjoy the rich flavors and the lovely moments shared over this timeless dish!
