Roast Beef, Yorkshire Pudding, Roast Potatoes and Vegetables
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (240°C). To make the fat extra crispy, gently rub in a big spoonful of dry English mustard mixed with flour and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Cook at original temp. for 20 mins. then turn down to 375°F (190°C) and cook for 15 mins. per pound. Add an extra 15 mins. for medium rare, or 30 mins. for well done.
- Yorkshire Pudding may be prepared after the joint is in the oven, and then cooked for 10 mins. in very hot oil at the end. It is a simple mixture of about 2-3 eggs, whisked together with a little flower and milk.
- The Roast Potatoes should be peeled and parboiled for about ten minutes, shaken in a sealed saucepan (this roughs up the edges, but don't go crazy). Dust the potatoes with a l;ittle flour and roast alongside the beef.
- Lightly boiled or steamed vegetables to taste: the most popular are - mashed potatoes, greens, sprouts, carrots, swede, roast parsnips *(see Roast potatoes), cauliflower and peas.
- The gravy is a mixture of the roast meat juices, the remaining vegetable water and a solution of cornflower. With the meat pan on the stove, ensure the meat juices and vegetable water mixture is boiling, add the cornflour dilution and stir away! The thickness or thinness of your gravy will depend on the liquid/cornflour ratio.
- Serve with English Mustard or Horseradish Sauce

History Lesson
- BBC NEWS | UK | Why do the French call the British 'the roast beefs'?
Insults written on a memorial to British war dead in a French cemetery have been deplored in France. One of the slogans used particularly stood out. So why do the French call the British "les rosbifs"? - Sunday roast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
