For the Roast Beef:
- 1 small beef eye of round 1 pound
- Freshly ground black pepper
- A small bundle of fresh thyme and rosemary
- Olive oil
- No sodium beef stock 1/2 cup
For the Yorkshire Pudding:
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 2 teaspoons of olive oil or beef drippings from your roast
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the eye of the round with freshly ground black pepper and herbs. Lightly brush with olive oil.
Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
When the roast is done, remove from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
Yorkshire Pudding:
While the roast is resting, raise the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
In a bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and flour. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
Put 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil or beef drippings into a muffin tin or a small oven-safe dish.
Heat the oil in the oven until it's very hot and then carefully pour in your batter.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes, until the pudding has puffed up and turned golden brown.
To Serve:
Slice the roast beef.
Serve the roast beef with the Yorkshire Pudding. You can add a side of steamed vegetables and drizzle the beef with the heated low sodium beef stock as a gravy substitute.
Enjoy this traditional British meal, made healthier with reduced sodium!
