Roast Beef Recipe
A family
favourite, roast beef with Yorkshire pudding,
roast potatoes & your choice of vegetable is a
popular roast.
There are several
cuts of beef you can choose from, such as
sirloin joint or rib roast (also known as
standing rib roast), rump, silverside, topside.
When buying look for one with some marbling
throughout & a thin layer of fat on the top. The
fat will provide basting juices & also prevent
the beef from drying out during cooking.
