Beef Rib Roast With Yorkshire Pudding



Ingredients

Beef Roast

1 beef rib roast (small end), 4 to 6 lb
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Yorkshire Pudding

Vegetable oil, if necessary
1 cup Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs


Directions

Heat oven to 350°F. For easy cleanup, line shallow roasting
' pan with foil. In pan, place beef, fat side up; sprinkle
with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Insert ovenproof
meat thermometer so tip is in center of the thickest part
of beef and does not rest in fat or touch bone. (Do not
add water.) For medium-rare, bake 1 hour 45 minutes to 2
hours 15 minutes or until thermometer reads 135°F. Remove
beef from pan onto carving board. Cover beef loosely with
foil and let stand 15 to 20 minutes until thermometer reads
145°F. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10°F, and
beef will be easier to carve.) For medium, bake uncovered
2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes or till thermometer
reads 150°F. Cover beef loosely with foil and let stand 15
to 20 minutes or until thermometer reads 160°F. While beef
is standing, make Yorkshire Pudding. Measure pan drippings,
adding enough oil to drippings, if necessary, to measure
1/4 cup. Place hot drippings in 9-inch square pan; place
pan in oven and heat until hot. Increase oven temperature
to 450°F. In medium bowl, beat flour, milk, 1/2 teaspoon
salt and the eggs with wire whisk just until smooth. Pour
batter into pan of drippings and oil. Bake 18 to 23 min
or puffy and golden brown (pudding will puff during baking
but will deflate shortly after being removed from oven).
Cut pudding into squares; serve immediately with beef.
