Roast Beef with Yorkshire pudding

Matched with Pepper Tree Merlot 2009

Food and Wine Matching - Roast Beef

Serves

6

Ingredients

  • 2kg beef roast – we have used topside
  • 1 cup red wine
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • Vegetables of your choice
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup cream
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1¼ cups plain flour
  • 4 tablespoons beef drippings

Method

  1. Place the beef in a roasting pan, season with salt and pepper to taste, and pour over 1 cup of red wine. Roast at 200°c for 2 hours, then rest, covered for 20 minutes.
  2. Then for the pudding Increase the oven temperature to 220°C.
  3. Put 1 teaspoon of the beef drippings into each section of a muffin tray and place into the oven on the top shelf until very hot - almost smoking.
  4. As soon as you take the tray from the oven, pour in the batter to three-quarters full and immediately put back into the oven.
  5. Bake until the Yorkshire Puddings are well-risen, golden brown and crisp - about 15 to 20 minutes. Don't open the oven door until the end or they might collapse.
  6. To make rich pan gravy, add 2 tbsp of plain flour to the pan drippings over a medium heat, then mix to form a roux.
  7. Gradually add 2 cups of beef stock to form the sauce.
  8. Serve with the beef, Yorkshire puddings and seasonal vegetables of your choice.
