    Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding
    Serves 6
    Preparation time overnight
    Cooking time 1 to 2 hours
    Ingredients
    Fore rib beef (about 4 kgs/9 lbs), French trimmed, boned and rolled
    olive oil
    salt
    freshly cracked black pepper
    For the Yorkshire pudding
    3 eggs
    115g/4oz flour
    275ml/½ pint milk
    beef dripping
    salt
    Method
    1. Preheat the oven to its highest setting.
    2. Rub the beef with the olive oil, salt and pepper all over.
    3. Put a heavy-based roasting tray on the hob and when hot, add the beef.
    4. Sear the beef quickly on all sides to colour and crisp the outside.
    5. Transfer the beef immediately to the oven and leave the oven on its highest setting (about 240C/460F/Gas 8) for 20 minutes.
    6. Reduce the heat to 190C/375F/Gas 5 and roast for half an hour per kilo for rare, adding another ten minutes per kilo for medium rare, 20 minutes per kilo for medium, and 30 minutes per kilo for well done.
    7. Remove from the oven and place on a board or tray for resting.
    8. Loosely cover with foil and rest the meat for a minimum of 40 minutes before carving, letting the precious juices that have bubbled up to the surface seep back into the flesh. Also, as the meat relaxes it becomes easier to carve.
    9. For the Yorkshire pudding, mix together the eggs, flour and a pinch of salt.
    10. Add the milk, stirring constantly, until you have a runny batter.
    11. Leave this to rest, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours.
    12. Place 1cm/½in of beef dripping in the bottom of each pudding mould, or if you are using a rectangular roasting tray, place 1cm/½in of beef dripping across the bottom.
    13. Heat the dripping in the oven (at 240C/460F/Gas 8) for about ten minutes, until it is piping hot.
    14. Remove the roasting tray from the oven, pour in the batter, and immediately return to the oven. Bake for 25 minutes, until golden brown and crispy, making sure not to open the oven door for the first 20 minutes.
    15. Serve immediately with the carved roast beef.

    Put the joint in the slow cooker – cook for a long time.
    tastes great, easy to carve.
    Don’t add anything else to the slow cooker, just the joint.

    i have a slow cooker and i always put it in the night before low, it makes it very tender and very tasty, if you dont have a slow cooker get one they are great and you can now pick them up for around £15-£20
