There are plenty of roast beef recipes for family gatherings or a romantic meal for two to suit everyone's tastes.
Roast beef gets such a hard time from the health aspect these days, as of course does Irish cooking (unfairly we think, there is nothing stopping people from using low-sodium, olive oil, not eating the fat, etc).
Even allowing for the health concerns I have to confess that no-one here can go for too long without having roast beef.
So all we can do is just enjoy it in moderation. Cooking roast beef in our home can occur on any day, it really is a movable feast.
