Spicy Roast Beef Sliders
Sloppy, melty goodness. Usually I make these roast beef sliders without the flour to thicken the broth into a gravy, so you can absolutely do it without the flour and just strain the meat before putting on the sliders and then use the sauce like an au jus to dip in on the side, but I preferred these with the meaty gravy. Reminded me of a grown up Sloppy Joe. Yum!

Traditional Yorkshire Pudding
As legend has it, Yorkshire puddings were cooked in a pan of fat at the bottom of a hearth, underneath a large piece of roasting beef. The smoky heat from the fire and the drippings from the meat must've made for quite a delicious pastry. Though limited by modern ovens, in this recipe for traditional Yorkshire pudding, you can still come close to the original by using real rendered beef fat, without which you're just eating a popover.
