Braised Beef

3 pounds beef from lower part of round or face of rump

2 thin slices fat salt pork 1/2 teaspoon peppercorns

3 cloves

Carrot

Turnip 1/4 cup each, Onion } cut in dice Celery Salt and pepper I bay leaf

Try out pork and remove scraps. Wipe meat, sprinkle with salt and pepper, dredge with flour, and brown entire surface in pork fat. Place on trivet in deep granite pan or in earthen pudding-dish, and surround with vegetables, peppercorns, and 3 cups boiling water; cover closely and bake 4 hours in very slow oven, basting every 1/2 hour, and turn after second hour. Throughout the cooking the liquid should be kept below the boiling point. Serve with horseradish sauce, or with brown sauce made from liquor in pan.

Corned Beef Hash

Drop the corned beef into boiling water and simmer, allowing 30 minutes to the pound. When cold chop rather coarse. Chop cold cooked potatoes coarse also. Dry bread may be used instead of part of the potato, and improves hash.

4 cups meat

4 cups potato

4 tablespoons butter

2 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 cup milk

Butter the bottom of a skillet, put in it the mixture of meat and potato. Over the top put seasoning and butter. Add the milk and put the skillet in the oven. Let it remain there half an hour, stirring every 10 minutes. If browned hash is desired reserve half of the butter and after the second stirring melt the butter in a frying-pan, put the mixture into it, and cook on the top of the stove, without stirring, until brown underneath. Fold and serve.

Beef, Oatmeal, And Tomato

1 pound shin of beef

2 sausages

I cup canned tomatoes

1/3 cup oatmeal

1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce Salt and pepper

Cut beef into small pieces, and season with salt and pepper. Cut sausages into inch pieces, roll in flour, and put into earthen dish with beef. Add other ingredients and cook 5 hours in fireless cooker.

Beef Roll

10 ounces lean beef from shoulder or shin 2 ounces sausage meat Bread crumbs

Salt and pepper

1 slice onion

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce

2 teaspoons tomato catsup

Mix sausage meat with equal quantity of stale bread crumbs. Cut meat into slices 1/2 inch thick and spread with sausage. Roll up and tie firmly. Salt, pepper, and dredge thickly with flour. Put into earthen dish with other ingredients. Cover with boiling water and cook 5 hours in fireless cooker.

Scalloped Meat

Spread in a baking-dish alternate layers of bread crumbs or cooked macaroni or spaghetti, meat chopped very fine or cut in cubes, a sprinkling of chopped parsley, onion, pepper, and salt. When the dish is nearly full, pour over enough white sauce to moisten it well; cover with buttered crumbs, and brown in the oven. Soup stock or tomatoes may also be used for moistening a scallop. A scallop made of raw meat, tomatoes, and crumbs makes a good luncheon dish. If uncooked meat is used, it will require one hour in a slow oven, and more liquid will be needed.
