Perfect Kiwi Roast Beef with Mini Yorkshire Puddings

Remove beef from the refrigerator and allow meat to come to room temperature before cooking. This will ensure even cooking. Preheat the oven - see below for oven temperatures. Place meat on a rack. This will allow even heat circulation and browning. Brush meat with a little oil and season with salt and pepper.

Cook for desired level of doneness. An internal temperature of the meat taken with a meat thermometer will be more accurate but a guide for the cooking times are listed below. Remove meat from the oven. Allow meat to stand for 10-20 minutes. This will allow the meat fibres to relax and for the juices to be reabsorbed back into the meat.

While the meat is resting increase the temperature to 210°C (fan bake) and cook the Wattie's frozen Kiwi Roast Mix according to bag instructions. At this time cook the mini Yorkshire puddings.

Yorkshire Puddings

Generously grease a 12 hole muffin pan with oil. Sift flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre. In a separate jug whisk together eggs, milk and water. Pour into the flour a little at a time, beating using electric beaters until batter is smooth. Transfer batter to jug. Allow to stand for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 200°C (fan bake). Place greased muffin pan in the heated oven for 2 minutes. Remove and pour the batter into the muffin holes. Bake for 10-15 minutes until yorkshire puddings are puffed and golden.

Gravy

Make a gravy using the meat pan juices and added water or stock, thickened with a little cornflour.
