Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Rub the meat with salt and pepper, place it on a baking sheet, and drizzle with a little oil or lard. Roast for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes for beef, and 1 hour and 15 minutes for chicken.
  2. Peel the potatoes, cut them into large pieces, and boil them for 10 minutes in boiling water. Drain them, coat them with a little oil, and arrange them on a baking sheet alongside the meat. Roast them for about 1 hour.
  3. Cut the other vegetables into pieces and roast them on a separate baking sheet in the same oven, or cook them in boiling water, adjusting the cooking time according to the vegetables.
  4. Prepare the Yorkshire puddings according to the instructions on the package. ≈ 3 min
  5. Remove the meat from the oven, cover it with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes. While the meat is resting, prepare the gravy using the pan juices.
  6. Arrange all the ingredients attractively on the plates and serve with a generous helping of hot gravy. ≈ 2 min
