Martyrdom at the Steak.

Clara Francis writes some charming
articles in the Prairie Farmer upon
culinary accomplishments, and among
other things makes some excellent
practical suggestions in regard to
cooking beef steak, which we copy
The cook who fails to serve choice
steak, chop or other superior cut of
meat in any but proper manner is
totally unworthy of the name. Those
persons who live where they can com.
mand the best--aud can afford to nav
for it-have but slight occasion to
understand the maodns operandi by
which different meats can be rendered
palatablo and nourishing.
There are many however, who are
compelled by necessity-motives of
economy, or Limitation of supplies TO
content themselves with inferior por-
lions. To such we would recommend
the study of the art of seasoning, and
ofthe various methods by which tough
meats may be rendered tender, sayory
nourishing and altogether delicious.
The average American cook will
sprinkle meat plentifully with salt and
pepper and consider that anything fur
Their by way of seasoning is nonsense
1t she be told never to salt meat preyi.
GUS to cooking, will still hold deGantly
to the opinion that the seasoning must
be cooked in. This is in itself enough
to injure the best of meat, and will
make lower grade totally unpalata,
BILE and indigestible. The action of
the salt during the process of cooking
renders the fibre tough and tasteless |:
therefore the salt should never be add.
ed until the meat is almost or com.
pletely done.
While this rule should be observed
it should be also understood that pepz
per and other spices require the action
OF aeat to bring out their true flavor !:
the degree should not be 30 great.
however, as to cause the evaporation
Of the aroma, thereby injurIng their es.

A piece of tough meat that BY I'M
sklllful treatment would be completely
ruined and rendered unit for use, can.
by Tong and sloto cooking be converted
with the help of u savory herb or two,
with little spice, into dish in which
the tiavors are SO nicely intermingled.
