The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

Prepare

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Season the beef with salt and place it in the center of a baking dish.

  3. Prepare the Yorkshire pudding batter.

Bake

  1. Pour the batter over the beef to cover it completely.

  2. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the beef.
