Roast Beef

Roast beef is a traditional British dish that consists of beef which is roasted in an oven. Essentially prepared as a main meal, the leftovers are often used in sandwiches and sometimes are used to make hash.

Pronunciation

Etymology

The term "roast beef" is from the late 17th century, with the word 'roast' coming from the Old French 'rostir', and 'beef' from the Old English 'beo', meaning 'cow', and 'fleisch', meaning 'meat'.

Preparation

In general, the beef is first seasoned with salt, pepper, and other spices, then roasted in an oven for a few hours. The cooking time and temperature will vary depending on the size and cut of the beef. The beef is typically served with gravy, Yorkshire pudding, and vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and peas.
