Tonight I wanted to eat roast beef and yorkshire pudding but I knew I didn’t have enough time to make a whole roast beef.  Instead I bought sirloin steak (which cooks much quicker) and made yorkshire pudding on the side.  I also made a big salad for mom and dad (using every veggie in the fridge!). Yorkshire pudding is just so delicious! It’s like a giant pancake (or giant popover).  We always make it for Christmas dinner but it’s so good, I decided we needed to make it more often.

Yorkshire Pudding

The ingredients are really simple: eggs, milk, flour and salt.  You whisk those together until smooth and then cook in a hot oven in a preheated bowl in which you have melted butter (or if you are making roast beef, you put in some of the drippings from the roasting pan).  It puffs up incredibly (you have to eat it right away after its finished cooking.)

Salad

For the salad, I combined spinach, arugula, shredded broccoli, tomatoes, avocado and goat cheese.  I also roasted some veggies as a side.

Steak

Cooking steak is pretty straightforward. Slat and pepper both sides, get the pan hot (grill pan preferable) and cook away!
