Instructions
-
Brown the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef along with the chopped onion. Cook until the meat is browned, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. The onions should become translucent and fragrant.
-
Drain the Grease: Once the meat is fully cooked, carefully drain off most of the grease, leaving about one tablespoon in the skillet to add flavor to the dish.
-
Add Flour: Sprinkle two tablespoons of flour over the meat mixture and stir it in well, allowing it to coat the beef and onion evenly. This will help to thicken the sauce.
-
Incorporate Liquid: Gradually add the cup of water to the skillet while stirring. Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat until it thickens, forming a hearty gravy.
-
Season: Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. At this point, you can add any additional vegetables of your choice if desired, such as peas or carrots, and let them cook for a few minutes until tender. (Optional: You can serve the mixture on its own if you prefer.)
-
Prepare the Batter: In a separate medium bowl, melt the butter (in the microwave or on the stovetop). In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then add the milk and blend well.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the cup of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the egg mixture. Beat until the batter is smooth and well combined.
-
Assemble the Dish: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pour the batter into a greased 2-quart casserole dish, ensuring it’s evenly spread across the bottom.
-
Add the Meat Mixture: Spoon the prepared meat mixture into the center of the batter, taking care to keep it about one inch from the edge of the dish.
-
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the pudding has puffed up and turned a beautiful golden brown.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove the Yorkshire Beef Pudding from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. Slice into wedges and enjoy this comforting dish with your favorite gravy or sauce.
Tips for the Perfect Yorkshire Beef Pudding:
- Use Quality Ingredients: The flavor of the dish greatly depends on the quality of the beef and fresh vegetables used, so opt for fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- Preheat Your Oven: Ensuring your oven is preheated will help the batter rise properly, creating that fluffy texture that Yorkshire pudding is known for.
- Customize: Feel free to experiment by adding different herbs or spices to the meat mixture to suit your taste preferences.
