To Mako Tough steak Tendor.

When it is impossible to preserve the
bcefsteak in edible condition until it be.
comes tender by natural means, pro eed
as follows, allowing rs long time rs is
convenient for carrying out the method.
Let the steak be cut mt least IN inch
thick, because it will be moro jaicy and
fullfavored than if cut thin, while il
will be possible to cook it rs we'll done,
if the proper care is exercised. Trim of
all the fat that is. not likely to be eaten
with the steak, and have it used to make
drippings while it is still good. Use n
platter large enough to permit the steak
to lay perfectly fiat, pour upon it enough
vinegar TO cover the bottom, AID at least
four tablespoonfuls of absolutely sweet
salad oil for q threc-pound steak; but do
not salt it. (Thc application of sal, to
the cut surface of uncookcd meat has
tendency to draw out its Juices, thus
depriving it of flavor and nutriment.)
II the steak is to be used for dinner,
put it in the oil and vinegar early in the
morning, and turn it o:er every
hour keeping it in cool place, pro-
tectcd from flies. If it is intended
for breakfast, put it in the dish so pre-
pared about supper-time and allow it to
remain untouched until bedtime; then
turn it and let it stand until morning.
The action of the vinegar upon the meat
will tend to soften and relax the fibers,
thus making the meat tender, while the
oil will prevent the surface from bccom-
ing dry and hard. No other fnt can so
well accomplish this result, because all
Others are hard when cold; the oil does
not impart any flavor to The meat, and it
does increase its nutrtivc properties.
The steak is to be cooked either by Lroil-
ing or frying, according to the writer's
methods, without attempting TO remove
from it any OF the oil or vinegar that ad-
heres to it; neither will impart any un-
pleasant flavor to the meat; in fact, it
will be improved in every way by their
use. The Housewife
