For now, the Yorkshire mix is made up ready, the beef has had a dry rub of paprika, Demerara sugar, garlic, salt and pepper, (and will be going in the bottom oven shortly) and I'll be roasting spuds, carrots and parsnips in goose fat and mebbe some curly kale steamed. The meat juices with the rub ingredients makes the base for a smashing gravy. Possibly serve with a bottle of Chateau Reynella '96. Still got a few laid somewhere.
