Carving is a manly art and beef
a virile dish.
At Simpsons In London I watched
the alteration Of Roast Beef Of Old
England.
But Americans need not apollo
gize for the quality of their meat
However, many American husbands
might brighten up their carving
technique.
Begin by sharpening the large
bladed knife to razor keenness. Keep
steel near you as you carve. Give
the knife a few ticks on the steel
every now and them No roast cuts
better than your blade Is sharp.
Press the fork firmly into the cen
ter of the roast, and hold 1t there
steadily with the left hand, so that
the roast is secure, and will not slide
around on the platter.
The platter, Of course, should be
large, to allow plenty Of room for
the slices, which are cut of. Hold
the knife in the right hand. Cut of
the first slice, about is inch thick,
cutting from the top Of the roast,
parallel with the platter, across the
grain Of the meat. from right to left.
When you reach the prongs Of the
fork in the center, the position of
the fork will have to be adjusted.
Move it as far to the left as pos
sible. still holding the roast firmly.
When the roast can no longer be
held with the fork at the left, move
the fork over to the right, under
the cut slice.
Do not use a saw-like motion.
II you do saw it, the meat will be
jagged and uneven. Cut with
firm, steady stroke. Cut each Of the
other slices parallel with the first,
and about the same thickness.
Better cut few more slices than
will be needed for the serving round
the table, so that when the call for
seconds" comes, the carver will not
have TO interrupt his own dinner.
But first you must cook your
beef. A noted American chef roasts
his this way: ..stf
