Ingredients:
Serves: 6-8 people

Roast Rib of Beef (prep time 10 mins, cook time up to 3.5 hrs, rest time 1 hrs)
2.5kg Beef, bone in
Pommes oil or Rapeseed oil
Salt & Pepper
2-3 cloves of garlic
2-3 springs of Thyme

Method:
1. Marinate the beef 2 days before you intend to cook it. Make the marinade by mixing oil, salt, pepper, crushed garlic and chopped thyme. Rub all over the roast, including the sides, cover up and refrigerate.
2. Pre-heat the oven to 220 degrees. Take the roast out of the fridge 1 hour before cooking, this will allow for the meat to cook more evenly.
3. Cook the roast for 1 – 1.5 hours on 220 degrees at first to brown it, lowering the temperature to 160 degrees for additional 1-2 hours.
4. The key is to measure the internal temperature of the meat, for rare to medium-rare beef, internal temperature should be 54-56 degrees, for medium 58 degrees and well done 63 degrees.
5. Remove the roast from the oven, once the temperature has reached the desired one. Cover with aluminium foil and leave it rest before cutting.

Onion Sauce (prep time 10 mins, cooking 20 mins)

2.- Make a batter by shifting flour through a sieve into a bowl, adding rosemary, pepper and eggs and beat with a hand mixer or a whisk, gradually adding milk.
3. Prepare a Yorkshire pudding moulds (muffin tray is a good alternative)
4. The key to a good Yorkshire pudding is to fill the moulds with just under half with beef drippings, then placing the tray in the oven with the fat and allow to pre-heat.
5. Pour the batter on top of the melted fat (batter will sit in a middle of the fat and give you the distinctive Yorkshire pudding dip) and bake on 200 degrees for about 20-25 minutes until the puddings are raised and golden.
