I'm only giving Jamie's recipe a 4 star only because of the slight ingredient confusion. Once you get past his english jargon the recipe falls together well and the taste is devine. A bounty of flavour. Good job Jamie.




The greatest, most tender beef I ever had!

I made this roast beef for my sister's wedding reception and it was excellent. Everyone wanted to know how to make it and I wasn't telling! Thanx Jamie for my new and best (now kept) secret!




Sucessful Dinner - the gravy was the best!

The gravy was like nothing i've ever had. The fresh rosemary really is what makes this and the whole preparation is key....while i made this my mother kept suggesting i not follow the recipe....so glad i didn't listen! I had a hard time finding the right cut of meat, I had the butcher cut a sirloin tip roast for me, it was actually cheaper than some more tougher cuts of meat like eye of round. My mother likes her yorkshires better though. My friends loved their meal, there was nothing left!




I love this recipe

I have made this recipe in three different kitchens (each with it's own quirks) and it has come out brilliantly in all three. I love this recipe and would recommend it to anyone!

The meat was SO full of flavor! Everyone loved it. Absolutely wonderful. My husband has requested it every other week!

I made everything just as the recipe indicated. The meat & potatoes were delicious but the gravy was a tad on the sweet side (I used a "robust" Cabernet). The Yorkshire pudding was...not to my liking. They tasted too much like egg and the texture felt as if they were undercooked (although I went over the 15-20 min).

I used this recipe for a large family gathering, it came out fantastic! Everyone was complimenting ME all night....so umm...thanks Jamie! I was dealing with a very small oven, so I cooked the potatos separately, but they came out delicious all the same.




Melt in your mouth good!

Roast came out perfect for me and my husband...a bit red in the middle and juicy...not at all dry. We are turning this dish into a Christmas tradition.




Good

Roast was very good; the Yorkshire Pudding was a bit of a disappointment. I think the amount of oil called for in the recipe is too much. Also, my mother-in-law, who is a Brit, insists that beef drippings should be used. It gets hotter which is the key to good Yorkshire Pudding.




Quickest Christmas Roast EVER!!!

I had many questionable looks and comments from my sister and mother about the temperature at which I would be cooking this roast. And I got to say "ha ha ha, I told you so!" My roast was a beautiful medium rare. The gravy was awesome, and I don't usually eat gravy at all. And the Yorkshire pudding was mmmm-mmmmm-good too. Thank you so much Jamie and foodnetwork.com! This recipe helped my family to have the least stressful Christmas meal I can remember! Although, I do take some of the credit, as my timing of all the meal components came together quite nicely! ;- )




Excellent flavors on Roast Beef BUT...

Loved the roast beef flavor, skipped the Yorkshire Pudding, and DID NOT like the red-wine reduction gravy...we may have used the wrong wine, it came out too bitter/sour...regardless, we'd use this recipe again for the ROAST BEEF and make a standard gravy (if you want gravy). Highly recommend the ROAST BEEF!!!! (my first challenge to do so and it was easy & delicious...quite proud of it!!)




Yorkshire Puddings

Never use whole milk for Yorkshire Puddings. Use half milk and half water, with plain, not self raising flour, and have the oven as hot as it will go. It is most important that you use the beef dripping fat in your tins, NEVER cooking oil. I know, I'm a Yorkshireman who has been making these for more years than I can remember. I learnt from my granny, and grannies always knew everything




great recipe
