Ingredients

• 600 grams Beef chuck roast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 500 milliliters Beef stock
• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 3 large Eggs
• 200 milliliters Milk
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Lard or dripping (for pudding tin)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 2

Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels, then season with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 4

Transfer the beef to a roasting pan and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Pour in the beef stock and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then pour the stock and onions over the beef in the roasting pan.

Step 7

Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil and roast in the oven for 1 hour, or until the beef is tender.

Step 8

In the meantime, prepare the Yorkshire pudding batter. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, milk, and chopped thyme. Whisk until smooth and lump-free, then let the batter rest for at least 20 minutes.

Step 9

After the beef has cooked for 1 hour, remove it from the oven and let it rest uncovered. Reduce the oven temperature to 220°C (430°F).

Step 10

Place a 12-cup muffin tin or pudding tin in the oven to preheat. Once hot, add about 1/2 teaspoon of lard or dripping into each cup. Return the tin to the oven and heat until the fat is smoking hot, about 5 minutes.

Step 11

Pour the batter evenly into the preheated tin, filling each cup about halfway.

Step 12

Bake the Yorkshire puddings for 20-25 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Do not open the oven during cooking to prevent them from collapsing.

Step 13

Slice the beef thinly and serve alongside the Yorkshire puddings, spooning any pan juices or onions from the roasting pan over the top.
