, to turn it, use two spoons.
PAN ROAST BEEF
Take a piece of cross-rib or shoulder, about two and one-half to three
pounds, put in a small frying-pan with very little fat; have the pan
very hot, let the meat brown on all sides, turning it continually until
all sides are done, which will require thirty minutes altogether. Lift
the meat out of pan to a hot platter, brown some onions, serve these
with the meat.
AN EASY POT ROAST
Take four pounds of brisket, season with salt, pepper and ginger, add
three tablespoons of tomatoes and an onion cut up. Cover with water in
an iron pot and a close-fitting cover, put in oven and bake from three
to four hours.
POT ROAST. BRAISED BEEF
Heat some fat or goose fat in a deep iron pot, cut half an onion very
fine and when it is slightly browned put in the meat. Cover up closely
and let the meat brown on all sides. Salt to taste, add a scant half
teaspoon of paprika, half a cup of hot water and simmer an hour longer,
keeping covered closely all the time. Add one-half a sweet green pepper
(seeds removed), one small carrot cut in slices, two tablespoons of
tomatoes and two onions sliced.
Two and a half pounds of brisket shoulder or any other meat suitable for
pot roasting will require three hours slow cooking. Shoulder of lamb may
also be cooked in this style.
When the meat is tender, remove to a warm platter, strain the gravy,
rubbing the thick part through the sieve and after removing any fat
serve in a sauce boat.
If any meat is left over it can be sliced and warmed over in the gravy,
but the gravy must be warmed first and the meat cook for a short time
only as it is already done enough and too much cooking will render it
tasteless.
BRISKET OF BEEF (BRUSTDECKEL)
If the brisket has been used for soup, take it out of the soup when it
is tender and prepare it with a horseradish sauce, garlic sauce or onion
sauce. (See "Sauces for Meats".)
BRISKET OF BEEF WITH SAUERKRAUT
Take about three pounds of fat, young beef (you may make soup stock of
it first), then take out the bones, salt it well and lay it in the
bottom of a kettle, put a quart of sauerkraut on top of it and let it
boil slowly until tender. Add vinegar if necessary, thicken with a
grated raw potato and add a little brown sugar. Some like a few caraway
seeds added.
SAUERBRATEN
Take a piece of cross-rib or middle cut of chuck about three pounds, and
put it in a deep earthen jar and pou
