Peel and slice half a dozen turnips and put with beef, boiling until
soft enough to mash with a spoon, which will require about thirty
minutes. Dress with one teacup of milk, pepper and salt to the taste.
Stew together a short time and put in bottom of dish with beef on the
top.--_Mrs. P. W._
TO COLLAR BEEF.
Take a flank of fresh beef, stew it with pepper, salt, allspice,
saltpetre, thyme, and sage.
Then roll as hard as you can, and wind a string around it; then boil
till done. It must be served up cold, cut in slices.--_Mrs. M. P._
ROLLED BEEFSTEAK.
Beat a large tender steak thoroughly and carefully.
Sprinkle over salt, pepper, sage, minced onion, minced parsley, and
bits of butter.
Have ready some mealy Irish potatoes mashed fine, and seasoned with a
little butter and salt. Spread over all, and roll up tightly: fasten
the ends and sides securely with skewer pins. Place in a pan with such
broth or gravy as may be on hand; if none, two teacups of boiling
water, and one small minced onion, pepper, salt, and one slice of
pork.
Simmer and baste as you would a roast duck. Sift over it browned
cracker, pounded fine. Very nice.--_Mrs. S. T._
BEEFSTEAK BROILED.
Cut the steak one-half inch thick; it should then be beaten with a
steak beater or pestle. The griddle should be hot and on the coals:
place the steak on the griddle, and as soon as seared, turn it; when
both sides are seared, place it in a pan, season it with pepper, salt,
and butter: repeat this for every piece of steak, and place in the
pan, which should be kept closely covered without being on the fire.
If your heat is sufficient, from three to five minutes is sufficient
to cook.--_Mrs. P. W._
BROILED STEAK.
A porter-house steak is considered, by some persons, best, others
prefer the tenderloin. Beat either tender, and place on a gridiron
over coals, frequently turning. Have ready a hot dish, place the steak
on it, pepper and salt well, then with a knife and fork profusely
butter, with one large tablespoonful fresh butter, turning and
pressing it so as to absorb the butter; pepper again and set the dish
over boiling water until wanted, when it will be found tender and
juicy, if not cooked too long on a gridiron. One tablespoonful pepper
vinegar gives this the taste of venison, and to this may be added one
tablespoonful made mustard, for those who like highly seasoned
food.--_Mrs. S. T._
