Beef Sunday Roast

Step 1 of 6

Heat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Roast the beef joint and the potatoes for about 45 minutes, checking the potatoes now and then so they don't overcook. Lift the beef out, cover it loosely with foil and leave it to rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing — resting keeps it juicy and frees the oven up for the Yorkshire puddings.

Roasting time varies with the size of the joint and how you like it cooked — a meat thermometer is the reliable guide.
