Food & Home Entertaining|February 2020

Makes 10 – 12 A LITTLE EFFORT

40 mins

WHAT YOU NEED ROAST BEEF

½ tsp beef stock

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic, chopped

¼ tsp dried coriander

¼ tsp cracked black pepper

¼ tsp ground cloves

500g aged beef rump

YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS

100g self-raising flour, sifted

100ml full-cream milk

3 large eggs salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

canola/sunflower oil, to cook

JUS

2 tsp beef stock

water, to deglaze

HORSERADISH CREAM

2 tsp prepared horseradish

50ml fresh cream, whipped to soft peaks

salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 tsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

pink peppercorns, to garnish

HOW TO DO IT

1 Preheat the oven to 180°C.

2 For the roast beef, combine the ½ tsp beef stock with the rest of the ingredients and rub the mixture onto the meat. Set aside to marinate.

3 For the Yorkshire puddings, using a hand-held electric whisk, blend together all the ingredients except the oil until smooth and slightly thick. Put the batter into a squeeze bottle and set aside.

4 Heat heavy-based frying or griddle pan until smoking hot. Sear the beef on all sides, keeping it rare. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside. Retain the pan juices.

5 For the jus, using the same pan, add the 2 tsp beef stock and a few drops of water to deglaze it. Set aside.

6 For the horseradish cream, fold the prepared horseradish into the cream. Season, add parsley and combine. Check the seasoning and set aside.
