Meat Box
2 pounds uncooked beef chopped fine
1 egg unbeaten
1 teaspoonful salt
1/4 teaspoonful pepper
Work all well together. Form into a box whose sides are about an inch
thick. Place this box on a piece of oiled paper in the bottom of
a baking-pan and bake in a quick oven for thirty minutes, basting
twice with melted oleomargarine.
To serve, lift box carefully, and place on platter and pour the
filling into the center, and send at once to the table.

Beef a la Mode
Use Clod (9) or Under Round (5)
The day before the beef is to be served rub it all over with the
following, well mixed together:--
1/2 teaspoonful ground cloves
1 teaspoonful ground ginger
1/2 teaspoonful ground allspice
1/2 teaspoonful ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoonful white pepper
Then sprinkle the beef with about two tablespoonfuls vinegar and let
stand overnight. Next day put in the bottom of the roasting pan:--
1 cupful small white button onions (chopped onion will do)
1 cupful carrot cut in dice
1/2 teaspoonful celery-seed
1 bay-leaf
4 cupfuls Swift's beef extract or of stock
2 tablespoonfuls gelatine that has been soaked in cold water for
half an hour
Lay the meat on the vegetables in the pan, cover closely, and set in
an exceedingly hot oven until the meat has browned a little; then
reduce the temperature of the oven, and cook very slowly for four
hours, basting frequently.
Serve garnished with the vegetables. Make a brown sauce from the stock
left in the pan.
This is a very good way to prepare meat in warm weather, as the spices
enable it to be kept well for over a week. It is excellent served
cold with
Creamed Horseradish Sauce
4 tablespoonfuls grated horseradish with the vinegar drained off
1/4 teaspoonful salt
6 tablespoonfuls thick cream
Yolk of 1 egg
Add the salt and egg-yolk to the horseradish and mix thoroughly; whip
the cream stiff, and fold it in carefully and send at once to
table.

appetizing.}
Boiled Beef
Use cuts from (1), (8), (9), (11)
Put the trimmings and suet of the beef into a large kettle and try
out the fat.
Remove the cracklings or scraps and into the hot fat put the meat and
turn quickly until it is red on all sides.
Cover completely with boiling water and boil rapidly for five minutes,
then turn down the gas or remove kettle to back of coal range so
that the water cannot possibly boil again, and cook fifteen
minutes to each pound of meat.
One hour before it is done add one tablespoonful salt and one-quarter
teaspoonful pepper.
When done garnish with watercress, or boiled cabbage, or vegetables.
