DROBABLY' no meat is more
L universally popular than roast
beef. For formal or family occa-
sions. for many persons or few.
some cut of beef is suitable for
roasting.
The choicest and tenderest cut
Is the filet or tenderloin of beef.
Although it is the highest in price
there is no waste of any sort in
bone, poor meat or fat. For for
NAL dinners, filet of beef is un-
excelled.
Next to the filet, the best cuts
for roasting are the porterhouse
and prime" rib cuts. Many dis
eliminating persons prefer these
roasts to the expensive and more
delicate filet, contenGing that the
bony cuts are more fiavorsome
and juicy.
Most of the fore-quarter sup
plies the coarse-grained. inex-
pensiye cuts usually used for
stews and pot roasts. The prime
rib roasts are the only choice cuts
in the fo~o-oup~ter when the
bones sre H.. AI rib roast, 1t
is called a standing rib' r-5st.
Scraping the meat from the bones
and re-rolling and tying the meat
in shape produces the popular
rolled roast" The rolled roast

From the substantial hind
quarter comes the flank, which
contains no bone and may be
cooked in many appetizing ways.
The sirloin and porterhouse fur

are suitable for special occasions.
/ A middle cut of the siTloin. the

/ The preparation and cooking OF
roast beef is very important. Salt
should not be added until the
meat is at least half done. Salt
sprinkled over the surface Of raw
beef Will extract the juices, which
defeats the initial purpose OF

Before putting a roast in the
