Redball:
If you're planning the beef, the pudding doesn't look very difficult. I thought I'd find my wife's recipe on a 3x5 card, but in the absence of one, she probably used this from a 1960s-era Joy of Cooking.

It was customary to cook this old and delicious dish in the pan with the roast or under the roast, letting the drippings fall upon it. As many of us now cook roast beef in a slow oven and no longer have extravagant drippings, we must revise the preparation of Yorkshire pudding. It is best to cook it separately in the hot oven required to puff it up and brown it quickly. Serve it from the dish in which it was cooked, cut into squares. In Yorkshire it is served before the meat course as a hefty pudding. We always substitute the pudding for the usual starch served with a main course.
The ingredients must be at room temperature when mixed or they will not puff.
Sift into a bowl:
⅞ cup flour
½ teaspoon salt
Make a well in the center, into which pour:
1/2 cup milk
Stir in the milk. Beat until fluffy:
2 eggs
Beat them into the batter. Add:
1/2 cup water
Beat the batter well until large bubbles rise to the surface. You may permit this to stand covered and refrigerated for 1 hour and then beat it again. Have ready a hot oven-proof dish about 9 x 12, or hot muffin tins containing about ¼ inch hot beef drippings or melted butter. Pour in the batter. It should be about ⅝ inch high. Bake the pudding for about 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350° and bake it 10 to 15 minutes longer. Some cooks recommend a 350° oven for l/2 hour or longer. Serve it at once.
I think it's also possible to use suet.

What the hell makes it puff? There's no leavening of any sort.
