Entrees » Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding
Ingredients
Roast Beef
- 5-6 lb top round roast
- 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil
- kosher salt
- cracked black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- leaves from 3 sprigs of thyme
- crusty French bread as a bed for the roast (or use roasting rack)
Yorkshire Pudding
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- salt & pepper
- 2 tbsp meat drippings or vegetable oil
Horseradish Cream
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp horseradish
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tsp blend of Old Bay & Cajun seasonings
- juice of 1 lemon
Special Equipment
- roasting pan
- instant read thermometer
- 9" x 13" baking pan
How-to
Start the Roast
- Preheat oven to 350º
- Rub meat with vegetable oil, season all sides with salt and pepper, rub with chopped garlic and thyme leaves
- Place roast on a rack in a large roasting pan. (Or place large pieces of crusty French bread in the center of a roasting pan as a makeshift rack which will provide a tasty savory bread treat after roasting)
- Place roast in the oven and set a timer for 60 minutes. The roast could take 1½ - 2 hours. For medium-rare meat (17-19 minutes per pound), remove from oven when a thermometer inserted into the center of the roast reads 130º for medium-rare (120° - 125° for rare, 145° - 150° for medium; 155° -165° for well done)
Make Horseradish Cream
- In a bowl mix together sour cream, horseradish, salt, pepper, the mix of Old Bay and Cajun seasonings, and lemon juice
- Cover and chill until ready to use
Start Yorkshire Pudding Batter
- Whisk together eggs and milk in graduated pitcher or bowl until incorporated
- Add flour, salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth
- Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour
Remove Roast & Let Rest
- When meat has reached proper temperature, remove from roasting pan to a cutting board. Cover with foil and let rest 30 minutes to allow carry-over cooking to take the meat to between 135º - 140º
- Remove bread pieces (discard, or save as the cook’s treat!), and reserve pan drippings
Finish Yorkshire Pudding
- Raise oven temperature to 450º
- Coast a metal 9” x 13” baking pan (alternately, you can make these in individual muffin or popover tins), with reserved pan drippings
- Place in oven to get pan drippings to a smoking point before adding batter, about 3 minutes
- Add batter to pan or individual tins and bake 20 minutes or until golden-brown on top. Try not to open the oven door, or the pudding can collapse!
To Serve
- Slice rested roast beef and serve with horseradish sauce on the side
- Slice Yorkshire Pudding into squares and serve family style or 1-2 pieces per plate
Rembs Layman
When Rembs Layman tilts his head and smiles, you're immediately won over. Having family in New England and Louisiana, he experienced the best of both food worlds which he shares as Executive Chef at Tupelo in Cambridge, MA. Locals love his down-home "comfort food with a Southern drawl," and he has an ever-increasing following for his incredible Sunday offerings of Fried Chicken, Gumbo, Jambalaya and Sweet Southern Pies.
Tupelo
This dish has festive dinner written all over it. Rembs Layman perfectly seasons a top round and roasts it on crusty French bread. Once the beef is done, he uses the pan drippings to make a popular holiday Yorkshire Pudding. But it wouldn't be Rembs' dish without an added kick. That's where his Horseradish Cream comes in with sour cream, Old Bay & Cajun seasonings plus the juice of a whole lemon. Add his Roasted Parsnips & Carrots to complete a special meal for special guests.
