Turn the stove to high and heat pot for 2 minutes before adding the goose fat and allowing to melt then add the flour. Keep stirring until the flour is browned and dry. It should be crumbly and relatively dry when ready. This will take about 10 minutes. Do turn down the heat while stirring to avoid burning.
Once flour is cooked take off the heat and slowly add the cold stock while stirring. Add the washed whole chilli and the peeled whole onion and put back on the heat on low. Add a splash of browning if you want a nice dark gravy.
Once the gravy starts to give off heat and simmer add stock cube and taste for salt and add to taste. Stir every 15 minutes for at least 2 hours.
When the rest of the food is ready and the 2 hours is up, remove the onion and chilli and mince the chilli in a garlic press for extra heat (optional).
The beef will be resting by now and you can pour the cooking juices into the gravy for extra flavour. Turn the heat up to high and allow to come to the boil and thicken to your taste. Add cornstarch slurry if desired thickness is not achieved.
Prep
Wash and peel the potatoes and cut into same size pieces and put in a sauce pan with cold water and put on the stove for later. Wash the broccoli and put in cold water in a saucepan. Add the salt to both pans.
If you are making the honey roasted carrots and parsnips wash cut and peel them now and go to my separate recipe to complete. You should put these in the oven for 30-45 minutes at 200 C.
Roast Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 160 C. Parboil the potatoes until the water starts to boil, usually about 10-15 minutes. Then drain and set aside.
Put goose fat into oven dish and throw the parboiled potatoes on top and toss in the fat.
Put in the oven on the bottom shelf 30 minutes before the beef. Keep an eye on them and turn after 1 hour. Total cook time about 1hour 30minutes.
Roast Beef - Medium Cook
Take the beef out of the oven 1 hour before cooking and cover in salt and the minced garlic.
When oven is ready cook at 160 C for one hour. Take out and check internal temperature of the meat. You want 135 C for a medium cook. Turn oven up to 200 C and put beef back in the oven for another 20 minutes for medium and 30-40 minutes for well done.
Take out of the oven and allow to rest for 20 minutes minimum. Start the Yorkshires.
Yorkshire Pudding
Spoon a little goose fat into each tin and put in the oven which should still be at 200 C for 10 minutes and set a timer.
Measure the flour out into a bowl. Crack the eggs beat and add the milk and beat to combine. Add the salt, pepper and mixed herbs mix and pour into the flour and mix on medium with a handheld mixer for about 2 minutes.
Once 10 minutes is up remove tin from oven, closing the door back and quickly pour in the batter to halfway in each hole and put into the oven for 20 minutes.
Brocoli
At the same time you put the Yorkshires in the oven, turn on the broccoli and boil for about 12 minutes or to your taste.
Your Yorkshires should be done now and you can serve and enjoy!
