Ingredients
- 3 lbs beef roasting joint
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup plain flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp prepared horseradish
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Rub 3 lbs beef roasting joint all over with 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper. Place in a roasting pan and roast for 2 to 2.5 hours until tender and cooked to medium.
- Step 2: While the beef roasts, whisk together 1 cup plain flour, 3 large eggs, 1 cup whole milk, and 2 tbsp prepared horseradish in a medium bowl until smooth and slightly frothy. Let this batter rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Step 3: Increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Pour 3 tbsp vegetable oil into each cavity of a 12-hole muffin tin and place in the oven for 5 minutes until the oil is smoking hot.
- Step 4: Quickly remove the hot muffin tin from the oven and pour the batter evenly into the cavities. Return to oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the puddings have risen and are golden and crisp.
- Step 5: Remove beef and rest covered loosely with foil for 15 minutes. Serve slices of the roasted beef with the horseradish Yorkshire puddings alongside your choice of traditional sides.
