the only
difference will be that the tougher cuts require longer cooking. Have
the bones from rolled meats sent home to use for soups. Corned beef
may be selected from flank, naval, plate or brisket. These cuts are
more juicy than rump or round cuts.
1. _For pot roast_ use chuck, crossrib, round, shoulder, rump or top
sirloin.
2. _For stew_ use shin, shoulder, top sirloin or neck.
3. _For steaks_ use flank, round or chuck. If these cuts are pounded,
or both pounded and rubbed with a mixture of 1 part vinegar and 2
parts oil before cooking, they will be very tender.
4. _Soups_--Buy shin or neck. The meat from these may be utilized
by serving with horseradish or mustard sauce, or combined with equal
amount of fresh meat for meat loaf, scalloped dish, etc.
