  Used this for a smaller rib for two. Didn't have any parsnips but this was the most fantastic tasty beef I have had for a long time. We used the veg underneath for the gravy, mashing it into the gravy then staining it - wow!

  I couldn't afford the rib of beef so i did this with an ordinary joint, was absolutely lovely. Did it with the herby slashed potatoes and reverted my hubby from his favourite flavourless roasts that he makes, so that means I'm cooking every Sunday.........

  Did this as per the recipe except used green beans instead of parsnips. Tasted great and will be making again. I'd never cooked a roast beef before this.

  herby potatoes: thinly sliced raw potatoes and onions, mixed herbs, salt and pepper, olive oil. layer potatoes and onions in pre-oiled oven dish, start with potatoes. Between every layer of potatoes and onions season it with salt,pepper and herbs, drizzel oil. Do this with every layer and finnish with potatoes on top. sprinkel with salt and drizzel with oil. Put into pre-heated oven for about 40 min or till brown and crisp . Lovely.

  Purchased a 2kg rib of beef from my local village butcher yesterday and now scanning for a good recipe. Well I think I've found it and can't wait to get into the kitchen to start it.....must admit the herby roast potatoe do sound lush so will be making those to. Its 07:38am so a little too early to start it but will let you know how it went...just got to find a pudding now...any ideas?!....ciao for now.....

  Well ladies and gents I've followed the recipe to the letter and what can I say but.....it's heaven on a plate! The joint I bought from my local butcher was slightly more expensive than the better range in supermarkets but I've got to tell you that it was worth every penny and will certainly be cooking it again. Try it you won't be disappointed!

  I used this recipe to cook a rare breed longhorn rib joint, it was out of this world. I also did the herby spuds whick were a nice change. well worth the money and the effort, have now decided to always use the better cuts of meat, just have them less often.

  Wow, this was delicious. Used some local beef (a large, double rib) and cooked for 20 mins per 450g (1lb) plus another 25 mins. Followed the recipe for the gravy, but just used up bits of veg I had in the fridge: carrots, celery, onion and garlic as well as the thyme. Making real gravy normally scares me, but this was fabulous and dead easy. Rather expensive to do every week, but perfect for a special lunch. Highly recommended!

  I don't eat beef but this was reduced from £26 to £15 at the supermarket, and I didnt know what how to cook it. Followed the timings for this recipe. Had 2.6kgs of beef ribs. I did not brown or use any vegetables. I cut several large fairly deep holes on most sides, and shook in some schwartz beef seasoning, and when i ran out with some of their chicken seaoning, salt, pepper, and ground cumin, I also covered all the outsides with this. I cooked it rare, and it was abosulutely delicious! I will get this cut again, as it appears you will get a superb taste because its a quality cut of meat!

  I just hope the quantity of garlic i.e. one BULB, not one CLOVE is correct! This recipe is on for a dinner party tonight with a bone-in rib of beef of 2.2kg.

  A wonderful way of cooking beef. So tasty and easy to do. The veg in the gravy gave it an amazing flavour. I used the leftover veg and blitzed it up for soup. Top marks all round.

  To Narvina heavily seasoned in my opinon is salt in the small palm of your hand-unless you have hands the size of dinner plates!! don't be afraid to add a little more-or less-as you become more confident you will just know! good luck and merry christmas!
