English Roast Prime Rib with Yorkshire Pudding Recipe

Cooking with One Chef One CriticWe had great fun making our British-themed episode of One Chef One Critic, especially since Steve hails from Old Blighty. Our guest was John Perlin, who has more than a passing acquaintance with things British. John has been an Honorary Aide-de-Camp for many Lieutenant Governors of Newfoundland and Labrador, and was once Honorary Canadian Aide-de-Camp for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. There is nothing more British from a culinary perspective than English prime rib with Yorkshire pudding.

  • Yield: 8 Servings

Ingredients

  • prime rib roast with 3 to 4 ribs, trimmed and tied
  • 2 tbsp (20 ml) kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) coarsely ground black pepper
  • 3 cups (750 ml) water
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) Oxo beef granules
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) flour
  • 1 cup (250 ml) dry red wine
  • regular grind pepper to taste
Yorkshire Pudding
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups (500 ml) milk
  • 2 cups (500 ml) flour
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) salt
How to Make It
  1. Remove roast from fridge and let it come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 500 F (260 C). Set an oven rack on lowest level of oven.
  2. Place a roasting rack in a roasting pan just large enough to fit the roast. Put roast on rack, fat side up. Rub kosher salt and coarse pepper all over top and sides of roast.
  3. Place roast in oven and cook for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 F (165 C) and roast another 1½ hours.
  4. After an hour, occasionally measure temperature of roast with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of roast – away from bones. When internal temperature reaches 110 F to 115 F (45 C to 50 C), remove roast from oven.
  5. Set roast on warm platter and allow to rest 20 minutes. Set aside pan drippings.
  6. On medium heat, stir 1 ½ cups (375 ml) water and Oxo beef granules into pan drippings until granules dissolve. In a small bowl, mix remaining ½ cup (125 ml) water with flour. Once contents of pan are well heated, stir in flour mixture, as well as red wine. Cook and stir until bubbling mixture reaches a suitable pouring consistency. Season with pepper. Keep gravy hot for serving.
  7. To make Yorkshire puddings, heat oven to 400 F (200 C). Using an electric mixer, beat eggs in a bowl for 30 seconds. Add milk and beat for 15 seconds. Gradually add flour and salt, beating until everything is blended. Spoon batter into a greased muffin pan. Each pudding requires ½ cup (125 ml) of batter. Bake for 40 minutes. Please do not open oven, as this will cause puddings to collapse. In final minutes of cooking, take a peek through oven window to make sure puddings do not get too brown. Serve beef, gravy, and Yorkshire puddings together.
