  I can't recommend this enough! The carrots were gorgeous and the beef was perfect. As an aside, top rump is half price at Sainsburys at the moment!

  This was fabulous - the gravy came out especially well, particularly as I'm not very confident at making my own. I would just add though that there was only 2 of us for dinner and we just about had enough, therefore if I was making this for 4 people I would at least double up the quantities.

  Really simple scrummy roast dinner, i found i had to leave the carrots in to cook longer, maybe if i blanced them 1st it would of made them cook quicker, also i added garlic to the tray to make the gravy, i also added a splash of red wine after the flour stage of making the gravy and let it reduce to nothing before adding the stock, definately feel gravy needs wine. Enjoyed by all though.

  Absolutely gorgeous! I never get beef right and for some bizarre reason decided to do this when friends came for Sunday lunch. I did it! Children wolfed the lot (got the recipe from the mag so cooked with all the trimmings), lots of compliments and very happy family and friends. They thought that it took a lot of slaving away but actually once the prep was done I spent the afternoon reading a book! Got to love oven timers. Enjoy! Thanks James! Xx

  Great. Perfect for a 'roast novice'. Even impressed the mother-in-law!

  After stage one I covered over the beef & whole pan with tin foil! The meat came out so tender & vegetables cooked perfect - it made a lot more liquid this way for the gravy as it did not evaporate... I had 1.5 kg so cooked it for a 1.5 hours at the second stage. It was fabulous! xx

  James Martin you rocked my dinner table! This was a massive hit with my hubby and 6 year old son, next time I'll do extra carrots as they were wolfed down. The timings given were perfect for medium meat and I'll defo be using top rump again.

  Slightly mis-judged the timings on 2.2kg roast beef so it was less pink than I would have liked but still tasty and moist.
