- Level Medium
Ingredients
- 8 slice Ground Beef
- 12 Florets Broccoli
- 1 Packet Potatoes
- 1 Packet Carrots
- 140 g Plain Flour
- 4 Eggs
- 200 ml Milk
- Drizzle (for cooking) sunflower oil
Method
- Cook the Broccoli and Carrots in a pan of boiling water until tender.
- Roast the Beef and Potatoes in the oven for 45mins, the potatoes may need to be checked regularly to not overcook.
- To make the Yorkshire puddings:
- Heat oven to 230C/fan 210C/gas 8. Drizzle a little sunflower oil evenly into 2 x 4-hole Yorkshire pudding tins or a 12-hole non-stick muffin tin and place in the oven to heat through
- To make the batter, tip 140g plain flour into a bowl and beat in four eggs until smooth. Gradually add 200ml milk and carry on beating until the mix is completely lump-free. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the batter into a jug, then remove the hot tins from the oven. Carefully and evenly pour the batter into the holes. Place the tins back in the oven and leave undisturbed for 20-25 mins until the puddings have puffed up and browned. Serve immediately.
- Plate up and add the Gravy as desired.
Tips for the best Beef Sunday Roast
- Preheat the oven fully before anything goes in — a cold start changes the texture.
- Let the beef come up to room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking so it cooks evenly.
- Do not crowd the pan. Cook in batches if needed so everything browns instead of steaming.
Variations
- Spicier version: add a pinch of chilli flakes or a sliced fresh chilli with the aromatics.
- Individual portions: divide into ramekins or a muffin tin and reduce the baking time by about a third.
- Vegetable boost: stir in a handful of spinach, peas or diced peppers in the last few minutes of cooking.
Serving ideas
Pairs well with a simple salad and a glass of something cold.
Storage
Best eaten fresh. Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for 2 days; reheat in a hot pan or oven rather than the microwave to bring the crispness back.
