Ingredients
- 4 lb Beef rib roast (or ribeye)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 4 Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Beef dripping
- 3 lb Potatoes
- 4 Carrots
- 3 tbsp Horseradish
Steps
- Bring the beef to room temperature, rub with salt, pepper, and oil, and roast at 450°F for 20 minutes, then 325°F until it reads 125°F for medium-rare. Rest a full 30 minutes — non-negotiable.
- For the Yorkshires: whisk flour, eggs, milk, and salt into a thin batter and rest 30 minutes. Heat beef dripping in a muffin tin at 450°F until smoking, then pour in the batter and bake 20 minutes without opening the door. They should puff dramatically and turn crisp.
- Parboil the potatoes, rough up the edges in the colander, and roast in hot dripping until shatteringly crisp, turning once. Fluffy edges are the goal.
- Make gravy from the roasting pan: deglaze with stock, whisk in a little flour, and simmer until it coats a spoon.
- Serve carved beef with Yorkshires, roast potatoes, carrots, horseradish, and gravy over everything. Sunday lunch is a sacred institution; treat it accordingly.
