Roast beef and  Yorkshire pudding, could be called the British Sunday dinner.I made it this weekend for my family.It takes 1 to 2 hour for cooking.

You will Need

1 x 2kg  beef sirloin roast
1⁄4 cup oil

salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Gravy

3 onions , finely sliced

2T butter, cubed

6 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled

2 cups red wine

For Yorkshire pudding

1 cup flour
1t salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1⁄2 cup beef drippings or oil

How to prepare

1. Preheat the oven to 240°C.
2. Season beef with salt and pepper.
3. Heat the oil in a roasting pan into which the meat will comfortably fit. Brown the meat on all sides, and set aside.
4. Add the onions and garlic, and fry until they just start to change colour.  Add the red wine and deglaze the pan.  Place the meat on top of onions, fat side up and place in the preheated oven.  Roast for 10 minutes, and then reduce the heat 170°C, and roast for a further 40 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven, transfer the meat to a cutting board, and allow to rest, covered with foil, while you make the Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Skim the fat off the cooking juices  into a bowl.
