Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding is a traditional British dish consisting of roasted beef and a savory pudding made from batter. The beef is typically slow-roasted to a tender consistency, while the pudding, which is baked in the oven, has a crisp outer layer and a soft, fluffy interior. The dish is often served with vegetables and gravy, and is a staple of Sunday lunches in the UK. Its history dates back to the early 18th century, and it remains a symbol of British culinary tradition.
