Roast Beef With Yorkshire Pudding And Baby Carrots---Sunday's Best
Today is "T s i k n o - P e m p t y" in Greece. Tsikno means meat grilling over hot charcoal with the aroma and smoke filling the air, and Pempty mean Thursday. So, today, Thursday, according to the Greek Orthodox Church, all who follow the religious traditions (even those who don't), can eat as much meat as they want due to the coming 40 day abstinence from eating anything alive before Easter.
You will need:
Serves 6
- 2 kg of rib-eye in one piece, bone taken off. Any fat is not trimmed off.
- Red and green pepper cut lengthwise and inserted in various places through the meat in a way that different spots of green and red will appear when a slice is cut. Shown in Fig.
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil (prefer Greek extra virgin Kalamata olive oil).
- 1 Green bell pepper cut in thin strips
- 1 Red bell pepper cut in thin strips
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. Colman's powdered mustard.
- 1 Tbsp. thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- 1 kg of baby carrots

We, as a family do not follow this tradition. We intend to follow the Jamie Oliver Greek inspired spinach pie and feta cheese. I found his way of preparing the spinach pie more interesting compared to mine. (My recipe dated December 16th 2010).
However I would like to share with you a typically Enlish Sunday meal called Roast Beef with Yorkshire pudding. Fix this meal today if you have time or some Sunday.
