=A La Mode Beef=


3 Pounds of Beef
6 Onions
4 or 5 White Turnips
Potatoes
Salt

Take three pounds of a cheap cut of beef. Wash, put into an iron pan,
sprinkle over it salt to taste. Pare six onions, more or less, according
to size of family, and prepare four or five small white turnips sliced
thin. Lay these around the meat, and pour over all a quart of cold
water. Put into the oven and bake three hours. Pare potatoes enough
for the family, putting them in an hour and a half before serving.
This is a most delicious way to cook beef. As the water cooks away,
add more. Thicken the gravy, with flour wet with water, as you would
with any roast meat.
