Ingredients

For the Roast Beef:

  • 5 pounds beef roast
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 5 sprigs rosemary leaves, chopped

For the Yorkshire Pudding:

For the Grilled Eggplant:

  • 2 tablespoons garlic infused oil, plus more if needed
  • 1 eggplant
  • Salt
  • 1 tablespoon snipped chives
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 a lemon, juiced

For the Pea, Mint, and Avocado Salad:

Directions

To make the beef roast, preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.

Place the beef roast on a clean work surface and rub with the olive oil and chopped rosemary.

Place into the preheated oven and cook for 15 minutes and then turn the heat down to 350 degrees F. Cook for about 15 minutes per pound for rare meat, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest, covered, for about 15 minutes before slicing.

To make the Yorkshire Pudding, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Mix the milk, eggs, and salt, and add pepper, beating all well together. I use my freestanding mixer but a hand-held electric mixer, rotary, or balloon whisk would do. Let these ingredient stand for 15 minutes and then whisk in the flour. Meanwhile, add the drippings a large heat-proof pan and put it in the oven to heat for about 10 minutes. Into this intensely hot pan you should pour in the batter and cook for 20 minutes, or until well puffed and golden. Bring it, triumphant, to the table.

To make the grilled eggplant, place the garlic-oil into a shallow dish and set aside. On a clean work surface, slice the eggplant into long, thin slices and then place into the garlic-oil, turning to coat.

Preheat a griddle or stove top grill pan and then place each eggplant slice onto the grill. Cook about 2 to 3 minutes and then turn, and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove the grilled slices to a platter and drizzle with more of the garlic-oil. Garnish with coarse salt, cracked black pepper, lemon juice and snipped chives.

To make the pea, mint and avocado salad, first make the dressing: put the oil, vinegar, and sugar into a large bowl and then put in a decent handful of the chopped mint. Stir well so all is amalgamated. Cook the peas for 2 minutes or so in salted boiling water, just so that they're ready, but not soft. Taste after 2 minutes and keep tasting. Drain the peas in a colander, put them straightaway into the bowl of dressing, and let steep for 1 hour or up to a day.

Just before serving, stir in the mixed greens, the endive, and the avocado. You may need to drizzle a bit more oil after tossing. Serve this on a big plate. Sprinkle with some more of the chopped mint.

    Delicious. I only prepared the Yorkshire pudding, and it was excellent. Light, fluffy, golden and a huge hit. My family has made a lot of Yorkshire pudding over the years, so they are a somewhat discriminating group. There is always a varying desire for “eggy” versus cakey, dense or airy. It was a hit with everyone. You can’t go wrong.
    I allowed both the eggs and milk to come to room temperature before mixing and used a balloon whisk instead of a mixer. It’s easier, with less clean up.
    I also used a 12 cup muffin tin, instead of a single larger pan, because I find the individual popovers easier to serve and seem a bit more festive for holiday dinners.

    Perfectly perfect! Made this roast beef with the Yorkshire pudding and felt like a rock star when the family sat down for dinner. I followed the recipe exactly - the roast was moist and tender, the pudding was puffed and delicious. Nigella's recipe is my roast beef go-to!

    I made the yorkshire pudding and although it baked and looked good it had no flavor whats so ever the only bits that tasted good was the crust near the edges, this recipe needs flavor. The consistency of this was like plain, and gummy, I have had other types of this pudding but with great flavor this is not a good recipe
