  • Lay your onions and bulbs of garlic in the tray with the beef on top of them, then cook in the pre-heated oven for a total of 1 1/2 hrs.
  • While the beef is starting, parboil your potatoes in salted boiling water for around 10 min and drain in a colander.
  • Toss about to chuff them up - this will make them really crispy.
  • After 30 min, take the tray out and toss in your potatoes, parsnips and rosemary.
  • With a garlic press or possibly grater, squeeze or possibly grate the garlic and ginger over everything in the tray.
  • Shake the tray and whack it back in the oven for the final hour.
  • Remove the potatoes and parsnips to a dish to keep hot, place the beef on a plate, covered with foil, to rest, and get your greens and Yorkshire puddings on.
  • Remove most of the fat from your roasting tray and you should be left with caramelized onions and sticky beef goodness.
  • Add in a tsp.
  • of flour to the tray and mash everything together.
  • Heat the tray on the hob and when warm, add in the red wine.
  • Simmer for 5 - 10 min, stirring every couple of min, till your gravy is really tasty and coats back of a spoon.
  • Add in any juice from the beef and feel free to add in some water or possibly stock to thin the gravy if desired.
  • Pour through a coarse sieve and push it through with a spoon, pushing it through with a spoon, and serve in a warmed gravy jug.
  • Serve with Yorkshire puddings.
