Roast Beef
Roast Beef
Roast Beef is a very popular dish especially prepared during festive occasions. I very fondly remember my Mummy preparing this for Christmas and Easter. The best part of the Roast was the sharp tasting Gravy which was loved by all. We used to have Roast with Rice and a Curry dish. Though it was a Main dish but it was served on the plate as a side dish.The Beef Roast is usually served with Roasted Potatoes, Chips and Peas. You may also use the Roast Beef later as a Hunters Beef to make sandwiches, Burgers or Wraps.There are very few ingredients required to prepare this dish but the flavours are perfectly balanced. The main part of preparing this dish is the marination time, so make sure that it is well marinated.
