Roast beef is a staple of British cuisine to the extent that the French often call British people Roast Beefs. Usually enjoyed with the family on Sundays, the beef is usually served with Yorkshire puddings, gravy, mustard or horseradish sauce, and vegetables.
Roast potatoes are essential. Roasted carrots and/or parsnips are optional (and can be boiled too, if you’re short of oven space). Peas are also a common addition. But the real hero, of course, is the meat.
So if you’re looking to prepare the perfect Sunday Roast (be it actually a Sunday or not), you need look no further than this recipe from one of Britain’s most famous chefs, Jamie Oliver.
Of course, other roast beef recipes are available. So once you’re finished with this one, why not try your hand at roast beef in a spicy pastry crust or use your leftovers in a low-calorie roast beef salad?
Or if your dedication to mastering home cooking truly knows no bounds, then click here to learn all about the science behind roasting meat. Whether beef, pork or poultry, you don’t need to be a Michelin-starred chef to cook the perfect roast every time.
But without further ado, let’s move onto Jamie Oliver’s exemplary roast beef recipe.
Jamie Oliver’s roast beef: the recipe
This recipe is adapted from Jamie’s Ministry of Food by Jamie Oliver and includes directions for when to prepare roast vegetables, gravy, and other additions to the perfect roast dinner while your beef is cooking. You can also find it on his website, along with other top chef recipes and tips from chefs, or watch a video of him preparing the roast beef by clicking here.
The roast fillet of beef from Jamie Oliver serves approximately 6 people and should take you just over an hour to cook, plus some additional time for cooling.
Ingredients
1.5 kg topside of beef
2 medium onions
2 sticks celery
1 bulb of garlic
1 bunch of mixed fresh herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, bay, sage)
Instructions
Step one
Ensure the beef is at room temperature. You can do this by removing it from the fridge 30 minutes before you want to cook it.
Step two
Preheat the oven to 240°C/475°F/gas mark 9.
Step three
Wash and chop the vegetables. You don’t need to do this too neatly and there’s no need to peel them. Break the garlic bulb into cloves and leave them unpeeled.
Step four
In the middle of a large roasting tray, pile up all the veg, garlic and herbs and drizzle over with oil.
Step five
Drizzle the beef with oil and season well with sea salt and black pepper, then rub all over the meat. Place the beef on top of the vegetables.
Step six
Place the tray in the oven and immediately turn the heat down to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Cook for 1 hour for medium beef. If you prefer it medium-rare, take it out 5 to 10 minutes earlier. For well done, leave it in for another 10 to 15 minutes.
Step seven
If you’re doing roast potatoes and veggies, this is the time to crack on with them – get them into the oven for the last 45 minutes of cooking.
Step eight
Baste the beef halfway through cooking and if the vegetables look dry, add a splash of water to the tray to stop them from burning.
Step nine
When the beef is cooked to your liking, take the tray out of the oven and transfer the beef to a board to rest for 15 minutes or so. Cover it with a layer of tin foil and a tea towel. Leave it aside to cool slightly while you make your gravy, horseradish sauce and Yorkshire puddings.

Alternatives to turkey this Christmas: roast beef
by Malou Herkes
published on 28 October 2020
If you’re cooking for fewer people this Christmas or you fancy a roast that isn’t the usual turkey, roast beef is a wonderful, festive alternative. Served up with Yorkshire puds, a lovely rich gravy, crisp roasties and horseradish sauce, is there really anything better? Here are some top tips and recipes from the likes of Mary Berry, Jamie Oliver and Hawksmoor restaurant.
Tips for cooking the perfect roast beef this Christmas
1. There are several beef cuts that work well for roasting. Beef fillet is expensive but ‘a real treat’ says Mary Berry (see her recipe below) and also works particularly well in a Wellington. Rib of beef and rump are all worthy contenders, or if you’re looking for a cheaper cut to slow cook, then try brisket or topside.
2. Remove the beef from the fridge about an hour before cooking to let it come up to room temperature.
3. ‘A meat thermometer will help no end’, say the chefs at The Ethicurean restaurant. Invest in a meat thermometer when slow-roasting to make sure you’re cooking your beef to perfection without drying it out.
4. Baste from time to time by removing the tray from the oven, and using a spoon to pour the fat over the meat. This helps to add flavour and keep it nice and moist.
5. Once cooked, rest in a warm place, covered with foil, before carving. This will give time for it to relax and ensures the most tender, delicious results.
A selection of recipes to try
Roast Fillet of Beef with Herbed Horseradish Sauce
Fillet of beef is one of the more expensive cuts that you might only enjoy for a special occasion like Christmas. As it’s a leaner cut, there’s more chance it can dry out if not cooked properly. Here, Mary browns the fillet in a pan until sealed and golden, then roasts it for 20 minutes until medium-rare. Serve with homemade tarragon horseradish sauce and all the trimmings. Feeds 8 to 10 people.

As for the gravy, Jamie has shared a rich red wine version that goes perfectly with beef.
He recommended using the juices left over from the beef and the vegetables, which will be at the bottom of the oven tray.
Put the tray on a medium hob and sprinkle in a heaped tablespoon of plain flour and mash it with a potato masher.
Stir in a tablespoon of blackberry or blackcurrant jam, then pour over 125ml of red wine and let it bubble away for a minute or two, before pouring in the stock.
Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down low and simmer for around 30 minutes, or until thickened and reduced, stirring occasionally.
When the gravy is the consistency of your liking, pour it through a sieve into a pan, pushing all the goodness through with the back of a spoon.
Keep warm over a low heat until ready to serve, skimming away any excess fat that comes to the surface, then pour into a gravy boat.
