BEEF; REDUCE LIVING COST
BY Biddy Bye
The following advice, taken from
one of Uncle Sans cook books, may
be applied in a general way to the
cooking of all of the cheaper beef
steaks.
The flank end of the porterhouse is
to be cIassed with the toughest of
cuts. 1t can be rendered tender
enough to be palatable only by long
steaming or cooking in water and yet
people quite generally brOl this part
of the steak with the tenderloin and
expect it to be eaten. This is not
good management. It is much more
profitable to put it into the soup ket-
tie or to make it into a stew.
In families where most of the mem
bers are away during the day the lat
ter is a good plan, for the end of
steak makes a good stew for two or
three people. This may be seasoned
with vegetables left from dinner, or
two or three olives cut up in gravy
will give a very good flavor, or a few
drops of some one of the bottled
meat sauces, if the flavor is relished,
or little Chill sauce may be added
to the stew.
Spanish Beefsteak
Take a pound of round steak
weighing pounds and about an inch
thick; pound until thin, season with
salt and cayenne pepper, cover with
a layer of salt pork, cut into thin
slices, roll and tie with a cord. Pour
around it p cup of milk and u cup
of water. Place in a covered baking
dish and cook hours, basting occa-
siOnaIly.
Casserole Roast
Three or 4 pounds of round or
rump of beef, slice of salt pork, a few
peppercorns, "a each of a carrot, a
turnip, an onion and a head of Gel
