AD | At this time of year, life can get rather hectic and I’m all for simplifying things wherever possible, but that doesn’t mean that you have to compromise on quality or flavour when it comes to eating. A rib roast of beef has to be one of my absolute favourites, and I think my entire family would agree. This Carvery Rib Roast was delivered to my door by @donaldrussellbutchers & these award winning butchers certainly know their stuff. The impressive roast of grass-fed British beef is 35 day dry-aged, and it’s hand prepared by their craft butchers so you can just snip the strings off and lift it off the bone for easy carving too. We enjoyed an early family Christmas gathering and I made a port and shallot gravy, caramelised shallots and homemade horseradish sauce to go with it. All amazingly delicious. You should really go and check their website out, as there is so much amazing produce on offer, all available for delivery by 20th December.
