Brit here. Great beef. 👏 Yorkshire puddings (pronounced York-sheer, not shire) definitely need some work though. Too stodgy & gluttonous. Try the standard UK recipe - 140ml plain flour. 4 eggs. Whisk. Gently add 200ml milk. Whisk for about 1 minute. Yes it should be that runny. No it’s not a pancake batter. Rest in fridge for at least an hour. You need smoking hot oil, about 1cm in your muffin tray. Recommend you leaving in a hot oven for 10-15 minutes before adding the mixture. Pour in mixture CAREFULLY to 3/4 full. Cook in hot oven (220 c) with enough room for the Yorkies to at least triple in height. They should be light, crispy and lightly brown on the outside with a wee bit of stodge inside. The ones in this video were more like pancakes.
Third nationality Brit here, I second this comment, recipe and observations about the pancake looking ones in the video, but Yorkshire is pronounced york-sher, almost like the singer Cher, but Sh. ;) Same as Worcestershite and Leicestershire. (Woostahsher, lestahsher) and just in case, "Woostahsos" is how you signify worcestershire sauce. xD

Bit of advice my Gran did this dish very similiar to how you did it, but and I t's all I can contribute, use the Beef dripping around the tray and and put partially cooked cut potatoes around the beef cut. Baste the potaotes every ten minutes and turning for around 30 to 40 minutes. You will have most gorgeous roast potatoes ever inventted. She did it in Glasgow for over 50 yeears and the smell combined is too die for, part of the secret is the beef keeps on giving with juices and fats. The Potatoes will turn rich in beef and roast amazingly well. Please have a go and see what you think? Hope it helps in your thinking of this dish with a little add on. Other tip use maris piper type poatoes over very floury variants.
Non-drinkers can use wine... the alcohol boils off. No need to be so sanctimonious. I'm pretty sure Jesus would approve... Wine to blood, bread to flesh... ooooh yeah.
@@cameroncooper4175 The Fact is, not ALL the alcohol burns off, and even a little alcohol is enough to send an alcoholic into relapse. Though I personally do use wine when I have it on hand. After all, flavor compounds are soluble in water, alcohol, and fat.
my dad just uses grape juice in place of wine, he says its cheaper and has had very little difference in taste with the dishes he makes for his restaurant, pomegranate juice sounds interesting though
For those who have not wrapped a roast before in twine, I recommend starting over with the twine until yours looks close to what the Chef has done in this video. Your first few tries aren’t going to turn out well, and a roast needs to be wrapped properly before being roasted.
I cook rib roasts, whole tenderloins and tri tips this way. The plus is you've never had better, especially the interior edge-to-edge consistency. The minus (maybe) is you are often called upon to cook. Last weekend I cooked an event for ~80 people, everyone really pleased. Thank you for your take on gravy!
THANK YOU FOR TEACHING THE RIGHT WAY TO WRAP! It's honestly less work than tying a bunch of individual strands all frankenstein-like how one often sees. Great recipe, looking forward to trying it!
It's even easier & faster if you make a loop at the end, then just slide it down to where you want it. Jacques Pepin has a few vids on youtube showing this method.
Beautifully done and narrated. We do it this way: We use eye of the round in a deep baking dish. Add 2-3 cups water with carrots/celery. Season the meat with some garlic/onion powder if you wish. Cover the dish with foil. When it's done you have wonderful Au Jus from the meat drippings! Get Kimmelweck rolls and lightly dip the roll halves in the Au Jus for a fabuous beef on weck sandwich!
For a beurre manié in dark, rich sauces like this, you might want to consider pre-browning the flour in a dry pan or the oven until golden and smelling of biscuits. Richer, rounder, no risk of raw-flour pastiness. Keep a jar of it somewere in the kitchen.
You can also just make a brown roux. It freezes extremely well (as ice cubes) and if you stir it in cold into the hot liquid, there will be no clumps at all. I've never understood why people would use a beurre manié at all, unless you don't have the time to make a roux and need to thicken something real quick, in which case I'd probably prefer a cornstarch slurry and mounting with some butter.
@@Kuchenrolle Nice idea! Cornstarch thickening does yield a different, more slippery mouth-feel, which I like as a Chinese glaze, but don't like much in a napping sauce. I've never tried slurry and butter, both.
For those who cannot consume gluten (like many in my family), I've been successful in substituting the flour with an all purpose gluten free flour when thickening sauces or even preparing Yorkshire pudding batter. I use Red Mill brand.
It's even easier & faster to truss if you make a loop at the end, then just slide it down to where you want it. Jacques Pepin has a few vids on youtube showing this method. Same exact end result, just a different way of doing the loops which saves you from feeding it under & pulling out the excess.
Just one tip for Yorkshire puddings use equal amounts of everything flour milk eggs season flour with salt and pepper. Make sure your batter mix sit in fridge over night 6 to 8 hours at least re whisk flour use beef dripping which is beef fat or talo as you call it in the states. Leave the tray in the oven till smoking hot with dripping then using a jug divide mixture into the Yorkshire pudding tray. Cook for 15 minutes at 180 degrees or gas mark 6
I agree with all of the prep instructions, especially taking the time to remove the "silver skin" or excess fat, and seasoning. But I no longer roast my "roast beef". Cooking it Souse Vide at 135 degrees F for a minimum of 18 hours and up to 24 hours produces a much more tender result that is consistently perfectly cooked. The lack of a Maillard reaction isn't an issue if you're slicing it for sandwiches (which is pretty much the only reason I buy a top or bottom round cut). Plus, if it's summer and I don't want to run the oven inside my home I can do the Souse Vide in my garage overnight.
No, I'm not concerned. Food safe plastic bags such as ZipLoc do not contain BPA. Also, nearly everything you eat can kill you if you consume absurd quantities. And that includes water (and I'm not referring to drowning). Even if you were cooking literally everything you eat Souse Vide it is extremely unlikely you would ingest enough of any chemical in the plastic bag for it to be an issue. If you eat food cooked in a barbecue with any regularity you're already ingesting a lot of carcinogens. @@alert1006
European restaurants have been using SousVide for quite some time. It’s only been the improved technology and manufacture that allows the average person to acquire one inexpensively. The plastic ziplock bags today are much safer than years ago.
Thank you for this recipe. I made this tonight for a large group with the gravy and everyone enjoyed it! This process was not only delicious but I was confident i would nail the medium rare doneness i needed. Resting then browning gave me plenty of time to get all my sides coordinated so i could serve everything hot. The gravy recipe is something i will adapt to make other dishes.
Hi from Southern California. Alton Brown (Good Eats) taught me how to reverse roast large pieces of meat, but while I've done pork loins and rib roasts, I've never attempted one as large as this one. For now, you've inspired me to visit the Tam O'Shanter restaurant in LA for a roast dinner. I've become a new subscriber.
You get bonus points from all of the Brits for the Yorkshire Puddings. Yorkshire puds are just underappreciated elsewhere around the world, it feels--can even have them on their own, cold/cool, with some jam.
Yes, I was going to say that, if served with beef juice, they're Yorkshire Pudding; but the Betty Crocker cookbook my mom made them from, for breakfast, called them Popovers. So simple, but so \delicious/ when butter dropped down into the middle and eaten warm! A family favorite, my daughter still makes them, and I recommend the special pans made just for popovers that will send them to amazing heights!🥰🥰🥰 (google popover pan and get the ones that look like individual cups set within a rack or the Nordic Ware one=more $😉)
Garlic Bread. The store brand I buy (they use French bread with a margarine-based garlic spread from their commissary Warehouse) they never add enough for my family likings. So, i make a garlic spread similar to this one. However, before I place in oven, I sprinkle sweet paprika on it. Paprika go well with garlic butter as long as you don't overdo it.
Outstanding; a multitude of instructions on excellent techniques cleverly disguised as a recipe. I have never before hit a subscribe button to quickly, thanks.
Looks amazing! I’ll give this a go the next time I cook beef - I love your flavoured butters already! The only thing I can say is that here in England, we pronounce those puddings ‘York-sure’ puddings (yes, another one of those weird English pronunciations). And the gravy looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing, Chef. ❤
It's wonderful to watch you professionals practice your craft. You relate so much that a cooking text can. I appreciate your sharing your knowledge and techniques with us. You make our humble attempts so much more interesting and productive.
I was worried about this method but decided to trust the process. OMG the roast came out PERFECT. TOTALLY PERFECT. My top round was only 3.5 lbs but it was delicious.
This is the first video of his i've seen, and I gotta say, he is amazing. The voice over, quality of the video editing, and especially the cooking got me to instantly subscribe.
As I am in menopause and have always been able to eat anything I want without ever gaining a pound. I now must watch what I eat or I’m at risk of having “unwanted Fat””
I made this and it is fabulous. If you have access to a meat slicer, this can be sliced thin for roast beef sandwiches or hoagies. Really good taste. I am going to experiment with other spices on the outside for a flavor profile crust. Great video, thank you.
When I was younger I used a rump roast for this. It would be more or less a triangular shape and I cooked it fat side up. These days I cannot do it because the rump roasts a cut so differently. They are an odd shape and most have no fat side. Sad, because this made a really tasty and tender medium roast.
YOU ARE AMAZING! I’ve enjoyed cooking my entire life and was taught by some talented country cooks but you taught me soooo much just in this video that I’m shocked I didn’t know! I’m so thankful I found your channel and looking forward to trying this. Thank you so much!😊
Billy, I think I over did it. I covered a top round roast in rock salt and left it in the fridge for 48 hours. Just sampled it, tasted like soprasata. lol Tasty but not a Sunday dinner thing. Think I'll slice it thin, dry it and call it jerky. Six lbs of jerky. lol It was only $3.99/lb at Safeway, can't complain.
only 12 to 15/week? i can relate. i was F&B manager/Exec Chef in a restaurant on the island of Phuket TH. we had an all you can eat Roast Beef + Soup & Salad Bar. it was madness. despite all the a la carte food we would prepare each service, someone was slicing roast beef and slinging potatoes the entire shift. ☮its great for high-season when you are trying to turn tables. frees the kitchen up so it can pay more attention to other more complex dishes. BTW: we also had an all you can eat BBQ Ribs dinner, too. both at the same time. luckily both items are prepared in advance,
8:30 use garlic greens in the garlic butter. The Japanese "nira," garlic chive in English, is excellent for this. If your local grocery doesn't have it, your local Asian supermarket probably does.
Hi, brilliant looking gravy, the only thing that I do differently is to cook the Beef on the bed of roots, then carry on as you did, this way the veggies soak up the Beef flavour as it cooks, and are tasty enough to serve as a side dish, with the Yorkies.
Excellent video and very clear instructions. Very nicely shot as well. The Yorkshire puddings are a little on the bready side for my liking, try adding a little less batter to each pan for a thinner, crispier Yorkie. Beef fat is of course essential here. As other comments have said, crispy roast potatoes are an important addition.
Unlike the other commenter who said they sub'd 1/2 way through, I waited until the end. So, besides the great recipe and instructions for how to do it, you also did the video the correct way. What way is that, you ask? You didn't put a 'background music' track on the dialogue. Thank you, thank you for that action. Yes, for me, hosts that feel the need to put any sort of music in their videos while they are telling us why a plane crashed or how to cook whatever or how to repair an exhaust fan in the bathroom are doing things incorrectly. Playing any music while the host is speaking is distracting and makes it hard to pay attention to what is going on on-screen. Looking forward to more goodness. I'll be viewing your previous videos in the coming days.
What I sometimes do is to sorta dry-sous-vide it. The oven will be just barely above your target internal temperature. E.g. if you want a 130F medium-rare in the end (so where you’d normally pull it out of the oven at 125F), set the oven to 135-140. Because the temperature differential is so small, and air is a terrible conductor of heat, it will take a LONG time for the internal temperature to reach your target 125-130F internal temperature. For a roast this size, hours and hours. (Even just a 1.5” steak takes a solid hour this way!) The advantage is that, like sous vide, it’s very hard overcook it, but unlike sous vide, the surface dries out, so you get a nice crust when you go to sear it later. If anything, with a big piece, it could take so long that the surface dries out too much, so you may want to baste it with oil to slow down the drying.
@@ChefBillyParisi I don't bag. I use an instant Pot with sous vide functionality and just slow cook in it. I know sous vide means cooking with vacuum (or something like that) but what I am usually interested is on a constant temperature that's high enough to kill pathogens (so the food doesn't spoil while cooking) and cook the food. I cook 80% of my food, if not more, this way. Even rice, lentils etc.
@@tookitogo That's called reverse sear. Kenji Lopez-Alt popularized it decades ago (didn't wholly invent it though) after independently trying to find a way to get sous vide type cooking in a home environment, in a time when sous vide machines were unpopular and expensive.
Thank you for this, I've tinkered with Sous-Vide and cheaper cuts, with the goal of making Prime Rib quality for a weekend roast. I'm curious how you would suggest ways to make GREAT results from tougher adequate cuts using the Sous-Vide. I've found cooking to temp has been a no brainer (and because Sous-Vide lets me cook to perfect temp for longer, I get amazing tenderness). However, I have found it tough to nail down the final sear and crust, it is never a prime-rib but it makes insane good roast beef sandwiches and French dips. Sous-Vide to 123° is easy enough, not sure it would be as dried to complete but I could pat it dry. Do I just need to then finish as you've suggested? Is that enough, or would you have any other tips?
Topside that in the UK and yes, a great cut, but leave at least half inch or 1cm of fat on top for flavour for cooking, eating a bit of roasted salted fat is amazing. Fat is very healthy on good beef.
I definitely have to try this method. The roast looks amazing, although I have to confess that I am partial to thicker slices of meat. But I'll try it.
I start out at 500 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes drop temperature to 300 cook low and slow at 20 minutes a pound . Achieve same results. Never had to use a temperature probe . U kids and your toys. Cheers 🍻
This is a fantastic video - I am not a big red meat eater, but for the holidays I plan a beautiful roast for guests and this will be a wonderful recipe to try. Can't wait!
Personally, I prefer to make a porchetta type roast. So filled the roast and then make a stuffing. Stuffing are completely to taste but my favourite is horseradish, basil, water cashews and or pine nuts with mushrooms or eggplant 😂❤
Is this the same cut as a rump roast? I have a big rump roast that is wrapped in twine. We got it from the butcher when we bought a 1/4 of a steer and had it processed. I have it thawed and plan on making it for supper tonight.
Hi Chef! I made a 3 pound roast beef this morning. But it's too rear. How do I cook it a TINY bit longer without destroying it? I need to to be medium pink. Thank you!
What's the difference between fan and convection? After 13:30 as you're setting the oven to 500°F for the browning phase, you say, "fan off-if you have convection though, crank it on, it'll make it that much better." then a moment later you say "remember, fan off" again. I thought having the fan on is what makes it convection mode? Is there a difference between fan and convection in some fancy ovens that I'm not aware of? I'm confused.
I have a convection oven and I can choose to use the convection mode (fan) when I want to. If I don't choose the convection mode, then the fan is off and I use convention (top and bottom heating elements). However, there are some ovens that only have convection as their primary use and won't let you use no fan. Then there are regular ovens (convention) that don't have a convection option. So convection could be optional, mandatory, or non existent depending on the oven you have.
i will definitely try this recipe! thanks for sharing chef! i have a question, if itturns cold like maybe its on the table for 2 hours, will itstill be ok? no sticky fat on the tounge after taste like that? or i need to reheat it again in the oven? thank you?
Awesome lesson Chef! Love it. Been wanting a good alternative to prime rib but didn’t know what other cut of beef to use. For sure will try all these recipes. Warmest thank you!
@@ChefBillyParisi at 6:32 the meat is sitting on a rack in the cooking sheet/tray. All the stores around me sell cooling racks that are meant for baked goods to rest. I am having trouble finding a rack to use for cooking meat with that circulation under the meat. In the meantime I have been using a trivet.
Great video. The Yorkshire pudding takes me back to my parents house on a Sunday afternoon. Thanks for the recipes and wonderful memories. I can smell it in my heart and mind.
It really is so good and so easy to make. When doing research on the origin of it, they said as the meat would roast over a fire they would actually put the pan of Yorkshire pudding underneath it and would cook in the fire and the meat drippings would drop right into it. Sounds incredible.
Now, if we can get him to say Yorkshire properly, or even call them York Puddings, like most of Britain does, we can get back to trying to get the rest of the US to stop calling it "Wash Yer Sister Sauce"
Top round at Safeway is usually around $3.99/lb. I just picked up a 6lb roast. They don't have these in the pre-packaged case, just ask for a big one and they will cut it right out of the Crayovac, trim it, package it for the same price $3.99. I'm making a roast beef dinner and Italian beef with the left overs. Go ahead, salivate. After shrinkage of cooking, I'll get about 4lbs. Roast beef at the deli counter is $10/lb so I am having it my way and half price.
Safeway has top round roast this week 4/10/2024 for $3.47/lb USDA Choice. And they'll cut it any size you want, make cube steaks, grind it, whatever you want, free. I usually get a slab 4" thick from the center, cut it in half, roast them both at the same time then slice them on a slicer and make gravy for Italian beef.
@@MichaelTheophilus906 In the meat department at the bigger stores, they have meat cutters doing their thing. They will stop and help in anyway they can. If they have round roast for a good price and cube steak is almost twice as much. Pick out a roast from the case, hand it to them and tell them how you want it done, thin slices, cubed, etc. Or if you don't see a roast you like, ask them to cut you what you want from a whole round in cryovac and they will process it how you want. The Kroger/Albertsons merger hasn't changed anything.
Looks very good. As a Yorkshire man (pronouced Yorkshuh or even Yorksheer but never York Shy ah) I cannot tell if it the videography or if your yorkies are a bit over dense. But the reverded seared neef looked well cooked.
The best advice for roast beef I can give is do not buy a supermarket cut that is tied up because it will be cheap meat, full of fat, more fat, stringy bits and horror. It might be cheaper but you'll discard much of it. Instead go in a butcher, pick out what you want and have them dress it the way you like.
Small butcher shops and grocery stores have the same suppliers. I had a small butcher shop for about 30’years. The difference is ground beef and every other product the butcher shop makes.
I do the samething with a beef rib roast. Never thought about doing this with round. Just so happens top round roast is on sale at my Shoprite for $4.99lb for choice. I paid a dollar extra a pound for prime. This is going to be so yum! Making a nice homemade horseradish sauce to go with it too!
Hah, just got the same thing this morning👍. It’s only for two, so I got a 2.5 pounder. Going to season it and throw it in the fridge till tomorrow afternoon. Should be interesting…
I was wondering, is there a difference between frying the cut of beef in a pan prior to cooking it in the oven to achieve the maillard reaction and the method you used in the video?
7 to 9 bucks 7 months ago is now 14 to 18 lb. Split the cost with the neighbor, and get the large one, not a 1 pound piece. Cook the whole, it vomes out rarer than trying you cook a small piece, and often, the more you buy the less the cost. Bring it home and season it, wrapped lightly in brown paper or just laid over it and refrigerate up to 36 hours. I like to let it sit to temper before i cook it, but if you really want rare in the middle, cook it right out the fridge. You can freeze extra portions after, but font but it if iour not going to cook it withing a few days. It will never be like it dhould be if you freeze it then thaw it. Flavor will be good( ish) but it will change the texture from stringy to like a piece of wood and be tougher. If you got a deal so ftoze it anyway, soak in buttermilk and seasonings while it thaws, and let it warm to room temp after it thaws, before you cook it. It will texture closer to fresh. Beef is never the same once its frozen.
My Yorkshire friends wife made superb Yorkshire puddings and yours are the closest to them that I’ve seen! By the way Yorkshire is prounouced York - Shaa here excellent video!!!
The best way to prep your beef...tell the butcher what you need. Any grocery worth its salt has a proper butcher in the meat department. They'll trim your roast, grind your perfect burger mix and/or truss up your pork loin or chicken. It's a rare, old school FREE service that most don't realize. I'm all about DIY, but some things should be left to those who know. For me, the cow was already butchered once, no need for me to do it again. 🤣
This is basically what I independently came to discover and hone on my own. Reverse sear tough inexpensive cuts, dry drine, infused butter and gravy, thinly sliced, rare.
I never trim the Fat Cap on a Roast Beef before cooking.. Especially on a small roast.. Leave it alone & trim it away after it’s finished.. You’ll have a tastier roast with a better gravy!
Great recipe. Looks like the gravy is more labor than the roast but there’s enuf down time to manage it. By the way most of us in the UK say “YORKsher.”
You may want to try sous vide on that cut and leaving it for at least 18 hours in the bath for your desired temp, way more tender and done edge to edge no need for a thermometer.

If you eat food cooked in a barbecue with any regularity you're already ingesting a lot of carcinogens. @@alert1006
European restaurants have been using SousVide for quite some time. It’s only been the improved technology and manufacture that allows the average person to acquire one inexpensively.
The plastic ziplock bags today are much safer than years ago.
Thank you for this recipe. I made this tonight for a large group with the gravy and everyone enjoyed it! This process was not only delicious but I was confident i would nail the medium rare doneness i needed. Resting then browning gave me plenty of time to get all my sides coordinated so i could serve everything hot. The gravy recipe is something i will adapt to make other dishes.
Hi from Southern California. Alton Brown (Good Eats) taught me how to reverse roast large pieces of meat, but while I've done pork loins and rib roasts, I've never attempted one as large as this one. For now, you've inspired me to visit the Tam O'Shanter restaurant in LA for a roast dinner. I've become a new subscriber.
You get bonus points from all of the Brits for the Yorkshire Puddings. Yorkshire puds are just underappreciated elsewhere around the world, it feels--can even have them on their own, cold/cool, with some jam.
Are they sort of like a fried biscuit? They look pretty good, but I've never had one.
Am American. Absolutely LOVE Yorkshire pudding. My mom makes it every now and then and it's one of my favorite sides ever.
@@TheLionAndTheLamb777 its popover dough that you cook in hot beef fat.
Yes, I was going to say that, if served with beef juice, they're Yorkshire Pudding; but the Betty Crocker cookbook my mom made them from, for breakfast, called them Popovers. So simple, but so \delicious/ when butter dropped down into the middle and eaten warm! A family favorite, my daughter still makes them, and I recommend the special pans made just for popovers that will send them to amazing heights!🥰🥰🥰 (google popover pan and get the ones that look like individual cups set within a rack or the Nordic Ware one=more $😉)
Only if he pronounces them properly - York-shear, not York-shy-er
Garlic Bread. The store brand I buy (they use French bread with a margarine-based garlic spread from their commissary Warehouse) they never add enough for my family likings. So, i make a garlic spread similar to this one. However, before I place in oven, I sprinkle sweet paprika on it. Paprika go well with garlic butter as long as you don't overdo it.
Outstanding; a multitude of instructions on excellent techniques cleverly disguised as a recipe. I have never before hit a subscribe button to quickly, thanks.
Looks amazing! I’ll give this a go the next time I cook beef - I love your flavoured butters already! The only thing I can say is that here in England, we pronounce those puddings ‘York-sure’ puddings (yes, another one of those weird English pronunciations). And the gravy looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing, Chef. ❤
Thanks for that! I actually think I knew that, but obviously messed that up here. Thanks for the education and for your grace!
York-.SHIRE 🙂
Just like Wus-ta-shure - New Hamp-shure - not shire, when will people learn... 🤣

It's wonderful to watch you professionals practice your craft. You relate so much that a cooking text can. I appreciate your sharing your knowledge and techniques with us. You make our humble attempts so much more interesting and productive.
I was worried about this method but decided to trust the process. OMG the roast came out PERFECT. TOTALLY PERFECT. My top round was only 3.5 lbs but it was delicious.
This is the first video of his i've seen, and I gotta say, he is amazing. The voice over, quality of the video editing, and especially the cooking got me to instantly subscribe.
Many thanks!
Finally someone tying up a roast properly. 👏👏👏👍
There is no such thing as “unwanted fat”.
Ain’t _that_ the gospel truth 😂
@@Kelz_X what you said!
I have not agreed with anything harder than this the entire day.
As I am in menopause and have always been able to eat anything I want without ever gaining a pound. I now must watch what I eat or I’m at risk of having “unwanted Fat””
@@freedomofspeech1828
I agree. I guess I was speaking of how much we like fat and I did not realize that calories must be of concern. Thanks. 😊👍
I made this and it is fabulous. If you have access to a meat slicer, this can be sliced thin for roast beef sandwiches or hoagies. Really good taste. I am going to experiment with other spices on the outside for a flavor profile crust. Great video, thank you.
Perfection! Guests devoured & loved each bite😊
When I was younger I used a rump roast for this. It would be more or less a triangular shape and I cooked it fat side up. These days I cannot do it because the rump roasts a cut so differently. They are an odd shape and most have no fat side. Sad, because this made a really tasty and tender medium roast.
YOU ARE AMAZING! I’ve enjoyed cooking my entire life and was taught by some talented country cooks but you taught me soooo much just in this video that I’m shocked I didn’t know! I’m so thankful I found your channel and looking forward to trying this. Thank you so much!😊
Billy, I think I over did it. I covered a top round roast in rock salt and left it in the fridge for 48 hours. Just sampled it, tasted like soprasata. lol Tasty but not a Sunday dinner thing. Think I'll slice it thin, dry it and call it jerky. Six lbs of jerky. lol It was only $3.99/lb at Safeway, can't complain.
only 12 to 15/week? i can relate. i was F&B manager/Exec Chef in a restaurant on the island of Phuket TH. we had an all you can eat Roast Beef + Soup & Salad Bar. it was madness. despite all the a la carte food we would prepare each service, someone was slicing roast beef and slinging potatoes the entire shift. ☮its great for high-season when you are trying to turn tables. frees the kitchen up so it can pay more attention to other more complex dishes.
BTW: we also had an all you can eat BBQ Ribs dinner, too. both at the same time. luckily both items are prepared in advance,
8:30 use garlic greens in the garlic butter. The Japanese "nira," garlic chive in English, is excellent for this. If your local grocery doesn't have it, your local Asian supermarket probably does.
Hi, brilliant looking gravy, the only thing that I do differently is to cook the Beef on the bed of roots, then carry on as you did, this way the veggies soak up the Beef flavour as it cooks, and are tasty enough to serve as a side dish, with the Yorkies.
Excellent video and very clear instructions. Very nicely shot as well. The Yorkshire puddings are a little on the bready side for my liking, try adding a little less batter to each pan for a thinner, crispier Yorkie. Beef fat is of course essential here. As other comments have said, crispy roast potatoes are an important addition.
Unlike the other commenter who said they sub'd 1/2 way through, I waited until the end. So, besides the great recipe and instructions for how to do it, you also did the video the correct way. What way is that, you ask? You didn't put a 'background music' track on the dialogue. Thank you, thank you for that action. Yes, for me, hosts that feel the need to put any sort of music in their videos while they are telling us why a plane crashed or how to cook whatever or how to repair an exhaust fan in the bathroom are doing things incorrectly. Playing any music while the host is speaking is distracting and makes it hard to pay attention to what is going on on-screen.
Looking forward to more goodness. I'll be viewing your previous videos in the coming days.
Great and simple instructions. Can make this for sandwiches for a week or two! (I live alone)
It's an excellent recipe. I just used barbeqye sauce instead of garlic and butter. Thanks for your advise.
You do a fantastic job teaching people. Thanks from a old guy who likes to cook

Why not sous vide / slow cook a roast beef, then cool it, broil/sear it quickly if you want a crust?
Sure. Just did a sous vide 2 videos before this one. Also, may be hard to bag that big of a piece of meat.
What I sometimes do is to sorta dry-sous-vide it. The oven will be just barely above your target internal temperature. E.g. if you want a 130F medium-rare in the end (so where you’d normally pull it out of the oven at 125F), set the oven to 135-140. Because the temperature differential is so small, and air is a terrible conductor of heat, it will take a LONG time for the internal temperature to reach your target 125-130F internal temperature. For a roast this size, hours and hours. (Even just a 1.5” steak takes a solid hour this way!) The advantage is that, like sous vide, it’s very hard overcook it, but unlike sous vide, the surface dries out, so you get a nice crust when you go to sear it later. If anything, with a big piece, it could take so long that the surface dries out too much, so you may want to baste it with oil to slow down the drying.
@@ChefBillyParisi I don't bag. I use an instant Pot with sous vide functionality and just slow cook in it. I know sous vide means cooking with vacuum (or something like that) but what I am usually interested is on a constant temperature that's high enough to kill pathogens (so the food doesn't spoil while cooking) and cook the food. I cook 80% of my food, if not more, this way. Even rice, lentils etc.
@@tookitogo Interesting approach! I use an Instant Pot for that kind of cooking.
@@tookitogo
That's called reverse sear. Kenji Lopez-Alt popularized it decades ago (didn't wholly invent it though) after independently trying to find a way to get sous vide type cooking in a home environment, in a time when sous vide machines were unpopular and expensive.
Thank you for this, I've tinkered with Sous-Vide and cheaper cuts, with the goal of making Prime Rib quality for a weekend roast. I'm curious how you would suggest ways to make GREAT results from tougher adequate cuts using the Sous-Vide. I've found cooking to temp has been a no brainer (and because Sous-Vide lets me cook to perfect temp for longer, I get amazing tenderness). However, I have found it tough to nail down the final sear and crust, it is never a prime-rib but it makes insane good roast beef sandwiches and French dips. Sous-Vide to 123° is easy enough, not sure it would be as dried to complete but I could pat it dry. Do I just need to then finish as you've suggested? Is that enough, or would you have any other tips?
Topside that in the UK and yes, a great cut, but leave at least half inch or 1cm of fat on top for flavour for cooking, eating a bit of roasted salted fat is amazing.
Fat is very healthy on good beef.
You really can’t even get a huge fat cap on an inside round here in the states. Unless, of course, your fabricating your own cow.
I definitely have to try this method. The roast looks amazing, although I have to confess that I am partial to thicker slices of meat. But I'll try it.
I start out at 500 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes drop temperature to 300 cook low and slow at 20 minutes a pound . Achieve same results. Never had to use a temperature probe . U kids and your toys. Cheers 🍻
This is a fantastic video - I am not a big red meat eater, but for the holidays I plan a beautiful roast for guests and this will be a wonderful recipe to try. Can't wait!
Forgot THE most important part. Horseradish.
Yep.... That's a must 👌
Roast beef is not roast beef without Yorkshire puddings
As much and as hot as possible.
Fully
There's no such thing!...what's next, donkey turnips??
Personally, I prefer to make a porchetta type roast. So filled the roast and then make a stuffing.
Stuffing are completely to taste but my favourite is horseradish, basil, water cashews and or pine nuts with mushrooms or eggplant 😂❤
Can't wait to follow your recipe directions. TY ❤🙏
You're an artist my friend. This might be the best roast beef recipe on TH-cam.
Is this the same cut as a rump roast?
I have a big rump roast that is wrapped in twine. We got it from the butcher when we bought a 1/4 of a steer and had it processed. I have it thawed and plan on making it for supper tonight.
Looks outstanding the garlic butter melting over the roast got me salivating!
Thanks for watching, I appreciate it.
This looked amazing. Have to try. Found your channel not that long ago and really enjoying your approach.
I appreciate the support!
Hi Chef! I made a 3 pound roast beef this morning. But it's too rear. How do I cook it a TINY bit longer without destroying it? I need to to be medium pink. Thank you!
I definitely try this method. The thermometer is interesting as you leave it in the meat so it must be robust.
What's the difference between fan and convection? After 13:30 as you're setting the oven to 500°F for the browning phase, you say, "fan off-if you have convection though, crank it on, it'll make it that much better." then a moment later you say "remember, fan off" again. I thought having the fan on is what makes it convection mode? Is there a difference between fan and convection in some fancy ovens that I'm not aware of? I'm confused.
I have a convection oven and I can choose to use the convection mode (fan) when I want to. If I don't choose the convection mode, then the fan is off and I use convention (top and bottom heating elements). However, there are some ovens that only have convection as their primary use and won't let you use no fan. Then there are regular ovens (convention) that don't have a convection option. So convection could be optional, mandatory, or non existent depending on the oven you have.
@@salut4396Yeah, but the point is that in the video he says “use convection but turn the fan off”, which makes no sense.
@@tookitogo May I have the time stamp?
@@salut4396 It’s in the comment.
@@tookitogo He said to use the fan if you have a convection oven in the hotter browning stage. He just wasn't using a fan.
This looks amazing! Does it work well for making roast beef sandwiches?
It’s like you’re reading my mind. I was just thinking about making this the other day. Thanks man!
Appreciate you taking the time to watch. Many thanks!
i will definitely try this recipe! thanks for sharing chef! i have a question, if itturns cold like maybe its on the table for 2 hours, will itstill be ok? no sticky fat on the tounge after taste like that? or i need to reheat it again in the oven? thank you?
This looks delicious. I'll do my best to keep up with you. Thank you, teacher.😊
Silver skin is muscle fascia and is like chewing Kevlar.
Couldn't have explained it better 😂
Until it meets its mortal enermy, slow low heat for a long time.
@@sherlockbonez This is true. 👍
DO NOT watch this if you're fasting 😭
Or if you're from Yorkshire 🙂
Looks fantastic, on my list.
Awesome lesson Chef! Love it. Been wanting a good alternative to prime rib but didn’t know what other cut of beef to use. For sure will try all these recipes. Warmest thank you!
Great instructions for making the gravy,, involved but worth it, thanks
In...sane... looks so great Billy.
Looks delicious! Billy, can a cooling rack be used for the oven or is there a specific type that is required?
Can you clarify what you mean by a cooling rack in the oven?
@@ChefBillyParisi at 6:32 the meat is sitting on a rack in the cooking sheet/tray. All the stores around me sell cooling racks that are meant for baked goods to rest. I am having trouble finding a rack to use for cooking meat with that circulation under the meat. In the meantime I have been using a trivet.
Ahh yes ok. Totally fine to use for this.
Great video. The Yorkshire pudding takes me back to my parents house on a Sunday afternoon. Thanks for the recipes and wonderful memories. I can smell it in my heart and mind.
It really is so good and so easy to make. When doing research on the origin of it, they said as the meat would roast over a fire they would actually put the pan of Yorkshire pudding underneath it and would cook in the fire and the meat drippings would drop right into it. Sounds incredible.
Now, if we can get him to say Yorkshire properly, or even call them York Puddings, like most of Britain does, we can get back to trying to get the rest of the US to stop calling it "Wash Yer Sister Sauce"
@@professornuke7562 No, we do not refer to them as York Puddings and never have. You are right about the pronunciation problem though!
Top round at Safeway is usually around $3.99/lb. I just picked up a 6lb roast. They don't have these in the pre-packaged case, just ask for a big one and they will cut it right out of the Crayovac, trim it, package it for the same price $3.99. I'm making a roast beef dinner and Italian beef with the left overs. Go ahead, salivate. After shrinkage of cooking, I'll get about 4lbs. Roast beef at the deli counter is $10/lb so I am having it my way and half price.
Sir, I noticed that Wolf Stove behind you and the 20k price tag on them.
But they are the best in professional cooking.
Safeway has top round roast this week 4/10/2024 for $3.47/lb USDA Choice. And they'll cut it any size you want, make cube steaks, grind it, whatever you want, free. I usually get a slab 4" thick from the center, cut it in half, roast them both at the same time then slice them on a slicer and make gravy for Italian beef.
@@MichaelTheophilus906 In the meat department at the bigger stores, they have meat cutters doing their thing. They will stop and help in anyway they can. If they have round roast for a good price and cube steak is almost twice as much. Pick out a roast from the case, hand it to them and tell them how you want it done, thin slices, cubed, etc. Or if you don't see a roast you like, ask them to cut you what you want from a whole round in cryovac and they will process it how you want. The Kroger/Albertsons merger hasn't changed anything.
🤤
This was great. Subscribed 1/2 through watching. Look forward to viewing your other content.

Great informative vid! Do you mind sharing the temperature of the oven? Thank you!
Can you prong the beef with a fork prior to seasoning? Or would that be bad? Forgive my ignorance
Hello chef, great and clear instructions. Can you give some examples of what we can do with the leftovers? Thanks
freeze it ? lol
Make a indian curry ❤ 😅
This all looks amazing!
Looks good and that Beurre Manie was spot on
Love me a top round roast. This looks fantastic. I'm going to try this method for sure. Especially that sauce!
Looks very good. As a Yorkshire man (pronouced Yorkshuh or even Yorksheer but never York Shy ah) I cannot tell if it the videography or if your yorkies are a bit over dense. But the reverded seared neef looked well cooked.
Glad I saw this, hearing York shy re offends my ears 😂
The best advice for roast beef I can give is do not buy a supermarket cut that is tied up because it will be cheap meat, full of fat, more fat, stringy bits and horror. It might be cheaper but you'll discard much of it. Instead go in a butcher, pick out what you want and have them dress it the way you like.
Buy your meat from a butcher that gets his beef from local farmers that properly raise it grass fed and finished and doesn’t inject with hormones.
Small butcher shops and grocery stores have the same suppliers.
I had a small butcher shop for about 30’years.
The difference is ground beef and every other product the butcher shop makes.
@oldironsides4107 what other products do butchers offer that is different outside of the ground meat?
Sausage, nduja, sides/apps
Yum!
Thanks for sharing!!! Looks delicious ❤

Wow, and super easy to follow your superb instructions
I do the samething with a beef rib roast. Never thought about doing this with round. Just so happens top round roast is on sale at my Shoprite for $4.99lb for choice. I paid a dollar extra a pound for prime. This is going to be so yum! Making a nice homemade horseradish sauce to go with it too!
Hah, just got the same thing this morning👍. It’s only for two, so I got a 2.5 pounder. Going to season it and throw it in the fridge till tomorrow afternoon. Should be interesting…
Pronounced "York-shuh".
Looked absolutely banging, chef.
You are the bomb chef! Every recipe I have tried to date from watching you has been fab!! And I tell everyone they should be checking you out !
I appreciate the support! Many thanks!
I was wondering, is there a difference between frying the cut of beef in a pan prior to cooking it in the oven to achieve the maillard reaction and the method you used in the video?
Ive cooked a thousand roasts, your way looks Amazing, thanks very much
7 to 9 bucks 7 months ago is now 14 to 18 lb.
Split the cost with the neighbor, and get the large one, not a 1 pound piece. Cook the whole, it vomes out rarer than trying you cook a small piece, and often, the more you buy the less the cost.
Bring it home and season it, wrapped lightly in brown paper or just laid over it and refrigerate up to 36 hours.
I like to let it sit to temper before i cook it, but if you really want rare in the middle, cook it right out the fridge.
You can freeze extra portions after, but font but it if iour not going to cook it withing a few days. It will never be like it dhould be if you freeze it then thaw it.
Flavor will be good( ish) but it will change the texture from stringy to like a piece of wood and be tougher.
If you got a deal so ftoze it anyway, soak in buttermilk and seasonings while it thaws, and let it warm to room temp after it thaws, before you cook it. It will texture closer to fresh.
Beef is never the same once its frozen.
My Yorkshire friends wife made superb Yorkshire puddings and yours are the closest to them that I’ve seen!
By the way Yorkshire is prounouced York - Shaa here excellent video!!!
Thanks for watching!
The best way to prep your beef...tell the butcher what you need. Any grocery worth its salt has a proper butcher in the meat department. They'll trim your roast, grind your perfect burger mix and/or truss up your pork loin or chicken. It's a rare, old school FREE service that most don't realize. I'm all about DIY, but some things should be left to those who know. For me, the cow was already butchered once, no need for me to do it again. 🤣
Going to try this for Thanksgiving Dinner this year. Thank you.
Another Parisi who can cook!
Just tryin to uphold the name!
You do it justice! @@ChefBillyParisi
I love the gravy and garlic butter..
This is basically what I independently came to discover and hone on my own. Reverse sear tough inexpensive cuts, dry drine, infused butter and gravy, thinly sliced, rare.
I'm dying over here. That looks so good.
I never trim the Fat Cap on a Roast Beef before cooking..
Especially on a small roast..
Leave it alone & trim it away after it’s finished..
You’ll have a tastier roast with a better gravy!
Never see a video where some one talks so much..........Key words that is...................Jet every single word is important, thank you for sharing.
This has been the best example on how to tie a roast.
Great recipe. Looks like the gravy is more labor than the roast but there’s enuf down time to manage it.
By the way most of us in the UK say “YORKsher.”
You may want to try sous vide on that cut and leaving it for at least 18 hours in the bath for your desired temp, way more tender and done edge to edge no need for a thermometer.
