How to Cook Sunday Roast Beef
- Place the joint, fat side up, on a wire rack (if available) in a shallow roasting tin. Season the meat with salt and freshly ground pepper then rub or spread with the beef dripping. Place the roasting tin in a very hot preheated oven Mk 8 - 450ºF - 220ºC for for about 10 minutes then reduce the oven to fairly hot Mk 5 - 375ºF - 190ºC. Cook according to the weight (or your own preference) then transfer the joint to a warmed serving dish. Allow to stand for 10-15 minutes then remove any string and, if necessary, secure any loose portions with a meat skewer. To keep the meat hot, you should place a piece of aluminium foil over it and keep it near the warm oven.
- * If you have problems finding beef dripping, you can use duck or goose fat instead.

If you are making gravy to go with your roast, drain the fat from the roasting tin and use the residual meat juices to enhance the flavour. Serve with Yorkshire Puddings and Horseradish Sauce... Graham's favourite English dish!

Other Beef Recipes

You will see this particular delicacy in many restaurants under the title "Steak au Poivre" which, of course, makes it sound very continental.

Mince and Onion Sandwich is stupidly simple to make but the taste is rich and comforting. The beef absorbs all the great flavours of the onion soup.

The Roquefort Cheeseburger is a delightful beast and my favourite type of burger since the cheese is inside the patty and infuses its rich creaminess.
