Instructions
- Prepare Yorkshire Pudding Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the plain flour, eggs, and milk with some salt and pepper. Once combined, set aside and leave the batter to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. This resting period helps to achieve better rise and texture in the puddings.
- Roast the Carrots: Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan)/gas mark 6. Toss the carrot batons with olive oil, half of the herbs, and some seasoning. Spread evenly in a baking dish and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until tender and golden.
- Sear and Cook the Steak: Heat an ovenproof frying pan over high heat. Rub the sirloin steak with vegetable oil and season generously. Sear the steak for 2 minutes on each side. Then, using tongs, hold the fatty side down for about 2 minutes to render the fat. Add butter and the remaining herbs to the pan and spoon the melted butter over the steak continuously. Transfer the pan with the steak to the oven alongside the carrots and cook for 4-10 minutes depending on the steak’s thickness and desired doneness (use a temperature probe: 45-50°C for rare, 55°C for medium). Remove and rest the steak on a plate.
- Prepare Yorkshire Pudding Tin: Increase the oven temperature to 240°C (220°C fan)/gas mark 9. Drizzle vegetable oil into a 12-hole muffin tin and place it in the oven to heat for 10 minutes. This step ensures the oil is smoking hot and ready to create crispy Yorkshire puddings.
- Prepare Horseradish Crème Fraîche: In a serving bowl, mix together horseradish, crème fraîche, and chopped chives until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Bake Yorkshire Puddings: Transfer the resting batter into a jug for easy pouring. Carefully fill each hot muffin tin hole with the batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes without opening the door until the puddings have puffed up and turned golden brown.
- Serve the Board: Arrange the roasted carrots, rested steak (sliced), golden Yorkshire puddings, and accompaniments such as horseradish crème fraîche, gravy, English mustard, sliced radishes, and red onion chutney on a large serving board. Serve immediately to enjoy the full variety of flavors and textures.
Notes
- Allowing the batter to rest improves the texture and rise of Yorkshire puddings.
- Use an ovenproof frying pan to transfer the steak easily from stovetop to oven.
- Ensure the oil in the muffin tin is very hot before adding batter for crispy, well-risen puddings.
- Use a meat thermometer for perfect steak doneness.
- Resting the steak after cooking keeps it juicy and tender.
- This recipe is great for sharing as a casual yet impressive meat and pudding board.
