Simple Roast Beef and Mini Yorkshire Puddings
Dull but important note on food safety…Please remember to get your roast beef leftovers into the fridge or freezer within 2 hours of the beef coming out of the oven. Beef leftovers can usually be safely stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or the freezer for up to 1 month. Never freeze cooked beef more than once. Always make sure you reheat cooked beef until it’s piping hot! If in doubt throw it away…food waste is bad, but food poisoning is worse!!
