BEEF BOURGUIGNON
Instructions:
Serves 4
The Burgundy region of France is famous for its fine wines and
sophisticated cuisine. Dishes "a la bourguignonne" generally include a
sauce made of red wine and a garnish of small onions, mushrooms and
pieces
of bacon.
Marinade
1 large carrot, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 stalk celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic
Bouquet garni
1/4 cup brandy
10 black peppercorns
6 cups good red wine
2 tablespoons oil
2 lb. beef chuck steak, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
1 heaped tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups brown stock (see Related Recipe)
32 small boiling onions, peeled
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons sugar
5 oz. mushrooms, cut into quarters
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
8 oz. slab or sliced bacon, cut into cubes or short batons
2 slices white bread, crusts removed and cut in triangles
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Place all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl with the cubes of
beef. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Strain the marinade into a
saucepan,
remove the beef and set aside, and keep the vegetables and bouquet
garni
separate. Bring the marinade to a boil, skim off the foam and cook for
6-8
minutes. Strain through a fine sieve. In a large heavy-bottomed
flameproof
casserole or Dutch oven, heat a little oil and butter. Pat dry the
meat and
brown on all sides in batches, remove and keep to one side. Add the
well-drained vegetables from the marinade, lower the heat slightly and
cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Return the meat to
the
pan with the tomato paste and stir over medium heat for 3 minutes.
Sprinkle
with the flour, place in the oven for 6-8 minutes, then remove and mix
in
the flour. Place over medium heat, add the marinade and bring to a
boil,
stirring constantly, then add the stock and bouquet garni. Return to a
boil, cover and cook in the oven for 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the
meat
is tender.
Place the onions, butter, sugar and some salt in a deep skillet and
pour in
enough water to cover. Cook over medium heat until the water has
almost
evaporated and swirl the skillet until the onions are golden. Fry the
mushrooms in some sizzling butter until golden, season, drain and add
to
the onions. Fry the garlic and bacon in a little oil, drain and add to
the
onions and mushrooms.
Brush the bread with melted butter and toast in the oven for 3-5
minutes,
or until brown.
Once the beef is cooked, skim off excess fat. Remove the beef to a
clean
flameproof casserole or serving dish, cover and keep warm. Strain the
sauce
and return it to the pan, discarding the vegetables and bouquet garni.
Bring the sauce to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the
sauce
coats the back of a spoon, skimming frequently. Season, strain over
the
meat and simmer or return to the oven for 5 minutes. Add the onions,
mushrooms and bacon. Dip a corner of each bread crouton in the sauce,
then
into the parsley. Sprinkle the remaining parsley over the beef and
serve
with the croutons on the edge of the dish or on the side.

BEEF BOURGUINON
Instructions:
From: ynnuf@yetti.amigans.gen.nz (Doreen Randal)
Source: Crockpot Cooking from Barbara Blitz
Ingredients:
------------
4 lbs lean beef cubed
1 - 1 1/2 cups red wine
1/3 cup oil
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp black pepper
8 slices bacon, diced
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 onion diced
1 lb mushrooms sliced
1/3 cup flour
Instructions:
Marinate beef in wine,oil,thyme and pepper 4 hrs at room temp. or
overnight in the fridge.
n large pan, cook bacon until soft. Add garlic and onion sauteeing
until soft. Add mushrooms and cook until slightly wilted. Drain beef
reserving liquid. Place beef in slow cooker. Sprinkle flour over the
beef stirring until well coated. Add mushroom mixture on top. Pour
reserved marinade over all. Cook on LOW 8-9 hrs.
Here's another extremely simple (and deceivingly good) recipe for pot
roast,
also known as brisket:
Sear a 5-6 lb. beef brisket on all sides in a heavy skillet over
medium-high
heat until nicely browned.
Take two sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil and criss-cross them in
front of
you; place in a roasting pan. Place seared brisket on top of foil.
Chop
about 3 large onions into half-rings and place on top of brisket. Now
add
about 2/3 bottle of Heinz ketchup over onions and brisket. Wrap this
mixture
tightly in the alumnimum foil to make a "package."
Roast the meat in a preheated oven at 375#161# for about 1 hour and 45
minutes. Let sit for 15 minutes before unwrapping. The ketchup,
onions and
beef juices will have made a delicious gravy for the meat. Slice meat
into
1/2" slices and serve the gravy on the side.
This recipe can be made in advance and frozen. Freeze the gravy
separately
from the meat. When ready to reheat, thaw in the microwave and heat
the gravy
and meat together in a large, deep skillet on the stove.

BEEF JERKY #2
Instructions:
Here is how I make Beef jerky.
Slice a flank steak with the grain into 1/8" strips trimming the fat
as you go. Put the strips in a large bowl and sprinkle on Morton's
Curing Salt at the rate of 1 tbsp. per pound of meat. Mix it in
thoroughly, and place the bowl in your refrigerator for two days. This
gives the meat time to cure. I've found this to be an important step,
here in Florida, to keep the meat from going bad in the summertime.
For seasoning, I use 1 tsp. of pepper per pound for a nice peppery
flavor, that's all.
For drying, I use an old charcoal smoker and a hot plate. I set the
temperature on the hot plat to 130 - 140 degrees. Any hotter, and some
of the thinner strips tend to be overcooked. I put the hot plate in
the bottom of the smoker and lay the strips on the racks between 18"
and 24" from the hot plate. I put the cover on the smoker and let it
go for about 6 hours.

1&1/2 oz. (42g) package of onion soup mix
1 tsp. (5ml) liquid smoke
1/4tsp. (1ml) garlic powder
1/4tsp. (1ml) salt
1/8tsp. (.5ml) pepper
You will need:
a sharp knife
a cutting board
a plastic bag
measuring
spoons
measuring cups
a small bowl
a mixing spoon
paper towels
wire
racks
a cookie sheet
oven mitts and a pair of tongs.
1. Cut all the visible fat from the meat. Cut the meat into long
strips about 1/8 inch (3mm) thick. This is easier to do if you
partially freeze the meat first. Put the strips into the plastic bag.
2. Measure the remaining 6 ingredients into the small bowl. Stir
together well. Pour into the bag over the meat. Remove as much air as
you can from the bag. Seal with a twist tie. Squeeze to get all the
beef wet with marinade. Place the bag in the refrigerator, turning
occasionally, for a least 6 hours or overnight. Turn the oven on to
150F (65C). Remove the beef from the marinade. Blot with some paper
towels. Arrange the meat strips on the wire rack in the cookie
sheet.Dry on the center rack in the oven for 4 hours. Use the oven
mitts to remove the pan from the oven. Turn the beef strips over with
the tongs. Continue to dry the strips in the oven for 3 or 4 more
hours until the strips begin to get brittle. Use the oven mitts to
remove the cookie sheet to the second wire rack. Cool completely. This
keeps well. Freeze the jerky for long-term storage or keep the jerky
refrigerated.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH FRESH HORSERADISH AND BLACK PEPPER CRUS

Morrow, 1997
1 (3 1/2 pound) beef tenderloin, trimmed of fat
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon Creole Seasoning
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 pound fresh horseradish, peeled and grated (about 1 1/2

BILL'S BURGERS
Instructions:
I created this by chance. I needed some moisture and didn't have any
eggs so I added a can of cranberry sauce... and hence my great
Hamburgers were born. Amazing how one can sub. one thing for the
other. I now keep eggs fresh in the fridge just for this recipe,
along with a can of cranberry sauce.
1- can cranberry sauce < about 8 oz's ?>
2-lbs Pork/beef/turkey < whatever your choice of meat >.
6-8 garlic cloves , sliced thinly. < one can never have
enough garlic>.
2-onions < cubed into small pieces, about the size
of one of the letters on your screen >.
1-envelope of salt free crackers < crushed and
made into a powder >.
2-Eggs <hopefully farm fresh as they do add flavor >.
1-dash of soya sauce < careful on this as it does
contain a lot of salt>.
a pinch of dry Mustard.
Mix all of the above and then form into patties. I even make a
Meatloaf out of this recipe in winter. Cook slowly and you'll enjoy a
mouthwatering treat. Add your own condiments,
Tomato/onions/lettuce.etc to the bun and enjoy.
Note: there is a lot of sugar in the cranberry sauce so cook slowly.

Categories : Mystery
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 lbs trimmed beef stew meat
salt
pepper
2 cinnamon sticks
garlic cloves
2 ancho chilies
soaking water
2 lbs dried northern beans, cooked
salt
3 lbs Italian sausage; hot/mild
2 onions
or 3 onions, finely diced
4 peeled carrots
6 celery stalks
1 large can tomatoes
2 ancho chilies, additional
soaking water
chicken stock
1. Oven roast 5 lbs. of trimmed beef stew meat. Season with salt and
pepper, 2 cinnamon sticks, a handful of garlic cloves and 2 ancho
chilies
soaked in warm water (use the water too). Roast at 375F degrees, 2-3
hours,
until the meat is tender. Cool and refrigerate; then remove the fat
that
has congealed on the top.
2. Soak and cook 2 lbs. dried northern beans, adding salt after the
beans
are tender. Cool the beans by surrounding the pot with an ice-water
bath in
the sink or transferring the hot beans into shallow plastic
containers.
Beans are easily soured, so it is important to not put them in the
refrigerator hot. It will take too long for the middle of the pot to
cool.
3. Sausage: 3 lbs. hot or mild Italian sausage or a combination of the
two.
Prick the sausage with a fork on both sides. Roast 25 minutes at 375
degrees. Cool the sausage and cut into three-inch chunks.
4. Finely dice 2-3 onions, 4 peeled carrots, and 6 celery stalks.
Saute
until onions are clear. In a large ovenproof roasting pan, combine the
defatted beef, the beans, sausage and the vegetables. Add 1 large can
of
tomatoes, 2 more ancho chilies that have been soaked in warm water,
and
enough chicken stock to make the whole mixture very wet.
Do not combine until right before you bake or the beans will absorb
the
moisture and the dish will be dry. Top the mixture with toasted bread
crumbs and bake at 350 degrees until the sides are bubbling, the
crumbs
have browned and formed a crust, and the middle of the casserole is
hot.

> I am looking for a recipe for homemade hot sauce.
This salsa I've been making for years--friends regularly ask me to
bring
over a pint of it or to give as gifts. It lasts indefinitely in the
refrigerator.
This is from West-Central Mexico and is best on tacos or in menudo and
pozole. In Mexico it comes in corked liter bottles. Besides the
pumpkin
seeds, it has a dash of tequila.
This sauce is fondly known as pumpkin seed sauce.

CLASSIC PRIME RIB
Instructions:
Yield: 8 servings
1 Standing roast of beef
- (4-rib, about 10-11 lbs)
2 Tbsp Flavorless cooking oil
Salt and pepper; to taste
PREHEAT OVEN TO 450F. TRIM the excess fat from the roast, leaving only
1/4-inch of fat. Heat the oil in a large roasting pan over
medium-to-high heat on top of the stove. When the oil is hot, place
the roast, fat-side down, in the pan and brown for 5 minutes. Turn
the roast on one end and cook another 5 minutes. Turn on the other
end and cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat and discard fat. Sprinkle
with desired salt and pepper. Place roast in oven and immediately
reduce heat to 350F. Roast approximately 12 minutes per pound for
medium-rare, or about 2 hours for a 10-lb roast. Remove the pan from
the oven, remove the roast from the pan and let stand for 25 minutes
before carving. To serve, strain the gravy into a sauce boat and carve
the roast at the table, counting on about 2 people per rib.
FREEZING THE ROAST: Do not carve the entire roast if you don't have
to. A whole solid piece of meat is more successfully cooked when
defrosted than a few smaller pieces. Before freezing, heat a dry fry
pan over high heat on top of the stove. Place the remainder of the
roast, cut side down, in the pan and sear well. Allow the roast to
cool to room temperature. Wrap with freezer paper and then over wrap
in plastic wrap. Label and place in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Defrost, without unwrapping, in the refrigerator for 24 to 28 hours.
To reheat defrosted rib roast, wrap prime rib in 1 layer of microwave
plastic wrap and place in a covered roasting pan or Dutch oven.
Cover, place in the oven, turn temperature to 250F and cook about 8
minutes per pound or until a meat thermometer placed in the thickest
part of the roast reads 110F. Remove pan from the oven and turn
temperature to 450F. Unwrap the roast, replace, uncovered in the pan
and replace in the oven for about 15 minutes to crust the outside.

hour
before baking.
Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes for large dish and about 20 minutes
for
individual dishes until bubbly and lightly browned.
Arrange egg slices ion top and sprinkle with parsley.
Serves 4.
Cynthia's notes: If preferred, use canned roast beef hash. Poached
eggs can
be used instead of hard-boiled. However, they must be prepared at the
last
minute. You can also use good-sized individual baking dishes for more
attractive servings. Cut baking time about 5 minutes.
Recipe may be halved or doubled. For 8 servings, increase baking time
to
about 30 minutes.

CROCK POT STUFFED PEPPERS
Instructions:
Cut the top off and remove seeds from:
6 green peppers (select tall rather than wide ones so they fit)
Combine:
1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
1/3 cup uncooked rice
1 onion, grated
Salt and pepper as you like it
Any other seasonings you prefer: oregano, parsley, garlic, basil,
chili
powder, etc...
Stuff each pepper about 2/3 full (rice will need room to swell up).
That's right, the meat and rice go in raw, that's the beauty of it!
Stand the peppers side-by-side in the slow cooker (you can stack them
if
you have to).
Combine and pour over the peppers:
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup water
(I haven't tried it, but you could probably use 2 cups of salsa
instead
of the sauce and water)
Cook on low for 6-8 hours. If desired, heat more sauce to serve with
the
peppers.

CUBAN STUFFED POT ROAST "BOLICHE"
Instructions:
Yield: 8 servings
4 lb Eye of round roast
2 Spanish sausages (chorizos)
6 Garlic cloves
1/2 tsp Dried oregano
1/8 tsp Paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup Orange juice
1/4 cup Lime juice
1/4 cup Lemon juice
1/2 cup Olive oil
2 large Onions; thickly sliced
2 Bay leaves; crumbled
1 cup Dry sherry
3 cup Beef broth
4 med Potatoes; peeled and halved
To make the pocket for the chorizo stuffing, insert a long- bladed
knife all the
way through the roast, beginning at the flat end of the meat. (Note:
Most
butchers can do this for you, if preferred.) Rotate the blade 90
degrees, and
insert it again. Stuff the pocket with the chorizo. Pierce the roast
all over
with the tip of the knife. Combine the garlic cloves and oregano in a
mortar and
pestle, mash together into a paste, and rub over the roast. Season the
roast
with paprika, salt and pepper. Pour the lime and lemon juices over the
roast,
and allow to marinate, refrigerated, for three to four hours or
overnight. After
marinating, remove the meat from the container, reserving marinade.
Heat the
olive oil over medium heat in a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven. When the
roast is
browned on all sides, remove it from the pot, and set aside. Add the
onions to
the Dutch oven, and cook, stirring over medium-low heat four to six
minutes.
Onions should be tender but not brown. Return the roast to the pot.
Add the bay
leaves, sherry, broth and reserved marinade. Bring to a boil over
medium-high
heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer about two hours. Add
the
potatoes, and continue to simmer, covered, an additional 30 minutes or
until
potatoes are tender. Add more beef broth if necessary. Remove the
roast from the
pot, and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Slice the roast into
1/2-inch-thick
slices. Arrange the slices on a platter, and surround with the
potatoes. Spoon
the remaining sauce over the platter. Serves six to eight.

DAN'S SPICY SMOKED SPARERIBS
Instructions:
Yield: 1 servings
8 lb Spareribs; pork, in 4-rib s
-ections
---dry ingredients---
1 tb Ginger; powdered
1 tb Mustard; powdered
1 tb Paprika
1/2 tb Salt
1/2 tb Five-spice powder; chinese
1 ts Black pepper
1 ts Chili powder
1 ts Sage; powdered
1 ts Crushed red pepper
---basting sauce---
1/2 c Tomato juice
1 c Peach preserves
2 tb Barbecue sauce; commercial
2 tb Butter or margarine, melted
1 tb Wine vinegar
1 tb Onion; finely minced
1 tb Bell pepper; finely minced
Juice of one and one-half li
-mes
Tabasco sauce; two or three
-dashes
Directions: To get started, place a handful of hickory or mesquite
chips into cold water and set aside. Parboil rib sections in boiling
water for about ten minutes (this partially cooks them and renders
much of the fat). Remove rib sections and set on wire rack to cool.
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and blend well with a fork. When
rib sections are cool, rub the dry ingredient mixture into the meat.
Stack rib sections, seal in aluminum foil and let them sit in the
refrigerator for about two hours. After two hours, start the coals in
your smoker. Combine ingredients for basting sauce in a blender and
blend until smooth. Transfer the basting sauce to a saucepan and heat
over low heat until it begins to bubble. If you prefer for the
basting sauce to be thicker, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4
cup of cold water, and mix a little of the cornstarch mixture into
the basting sauce a bit at a time until desired consistency is
achieved. When the coals are uniform gray, scatter a few of the wet
wood chips over them. Rub grill with a paper towel dipped in
vegetable oil. Brush ribs with basting sauce and place them on the
grill. Cover with smoker lid (leave vents about half-open). Grill
the ribs for about an hour, turning about every fifteen minutes and
basting as you turn them. Add wood chips to the coals as necessary to
maintain smoke. Serve ribs with warm basting sauce. Formatted for

since the grinding and stuffing will be one operation. If you are
using a hand grinder, put the meat through the fine disk (1/4 inch or
smaller)twice. Mix in the seasonings between the first and second
grindings.
Sausage tastes better if it has a chance to allow the spices to
incorporate throughout the meat. Weather you made sausage in casings
or
not, refrigerate at least a couple hours. Fresh sausage will keep ok
in
the fridge for a couple days. Otherwise wrap and freeze it.
Cooking fresh sausage should be thorough and slowly. Never eat pork
that
has not been completely cooked!

GUINNESS STEW
Instructions:
Saw a request for Beef Stew with Guinness. I usually make stew with
Guinness, but use a half-lamb, half-beef mix. For the full Irish stew
effect, you can use all lamb, but it might be a bit much for those who
aren't used to the taste. You can also do all beef of course, but the
lamb
and Guinness go so well together that it'd be a shame to leave it out
entirely.
2.5 lbs beef (chuck roast) and/or lamb (shoulder) - the tougher,
fattier cuts
of meat are fine, as they will become tender through long cooking.
4-6 medium potatoes (about 2.5 lbs)
4-6 large carrots (about 1 lb)
3 Tbsp bacon fat or lard
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp coarse black pepper
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp fennel seeds
1/4 tsp tarragon
1/4 tsp sweet paprika
1/4 tsp thyme
2 bay leaves
1 tsp gumbo file
1 can (14.9 oz) Guinness (pub draught style)
flour
water
Cut the meat into large chunks (about 1.5 or 2 inches on a side). Put
some
flour (1/4 cup or so should do it) in a bowl, add the meat, and toss
until
coated. Do not bother to shake off excess flour. In a deep cast-iron
stewpot, heat bacon fat on high until it sputters when you drip water
on
it. For those of you who can't bear using animal fat, 2 Tbsp of your
favorite oil should work fine. When hot, drop meat into stewpot and
brown
thoroughly on high heat. Be attentive here and stir the meat often
until
all sides are browned. Add 1 cup of the Guinness and the
Worcestershire
sauce. Let it simmer a couple minutes until flavor and aroma have
developed, scraping any brown bits up from the pan bottom and sides.
Add 1
cup water, herbs and spices (except file), and remaining Guinness.
Let
simmer on medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes. While it simmers, wash
potatoes and cut into large chunks (perhaps 6 chunks per potato, and
yes
they really should be that big). And don't peel them - it's
sacrilegious.
Wash (don't peel) the carrots, and cut them into long pieces (2 inches
or
so). Add potatoes and carrots to stew. Add enough water to almost
cover
everything, cover and cook over medium heat for at least an hour,
preferably two. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
When
you stir, use a fork. Break a few of the potatoes up as you do,
mixing
them back into the broth. This will result in a much thicker,
heartier
stew. You may also adjust the thickness to your preference with water
or
flour, depending on how you like it. About 15 minutes before serving,
add
1/2 tsp of the gumbo file, turn off heat and let the stew stand to
thicken
(don't worry, the cast iron pot will keep it plenty warm). The file
is a
good thickener, so if your stew is too thin, add the full teaspoon.
During
dinner, leave the pot covered in a warm (but turned-off) oven or on a
burner over the lowest possible heat. This will keep it warm when
people
go back for seconds (and they will). Serve with Guinness, bread (for
sopping up afterwards), and plenty of salt. Seal and refrigerate any
uneaten stew. To reheat, add a little water and simmer until
thoroughly
warmed. This stew loses absolutely nothing by being around for a
couple of
days.
Variations: This is a very rich and flavorful stew as is, and really
does
not need the additional flavors of garlic or onion common in most
stews.
However, for people who must have them, one large yellow onion (diced)
can
be added in the last few minutes of the browning of the meat, but be
careful not to burn it. Garlic should be crushed or minced and added
along
with the spices. Other common additions include peas, celery,
parsley, and
other vegetables. Just do what feels right ;) Enjoy!

LAWRY'S PRIME RIB
Instructions:
1 - The most famous West Coast Restaurant for Prime Rib is "Lawry's
Prime Rib" in Beverly Hills, CA. They normally make a Prime Rib at
least 15 pounds or more, at a time. They recommend you use a meat
thermometer to determine doneness, because of the inaccuracy of
cooking times. Normally Lawry's cooks its beef rare, which would be
130 degrees on meat thermometer (about 18-20 minutes per pound).
Medium-rare is 140-150 degrees or 22-25 minutes per pound. Well
done (which they don't really like to serve) is 160-165 degrees for
about 27-30 minutes per pound. Allowing about 20 minutes for the
roast to stand before carving. To carve, roast should be place on its
side and cut across the grain towards the ribs.
2 - Per the latest article in Los Angeles Times Culinary SOS column
this is the revised recipe version for normal sized prime rib cooking:
1 8-10 pound prime rib
Rock salt
Seasoned Salt
Place Prime rib fat-side-up in baking pan (make sure the pan won't get
ruined by the rock salt). Roast at 325 degrees until meat thermometer
registers the correct temperature for the doneness you desire (see
above). 8-10 servings.
Don't forget to use the grease drippings to make Yorkshire Pudding!
Note - I have also made this same recipe on a Rotisserie for my
parents
Anniversary Party. It takes a lot more work that way. The reference
to
beef dripping in my posting for Yorkshire Pudding refers to a STANDING
RIB ROAST. This is a more tender cut of top grade beef. The
following
spices are used to add a gourmet touch when cooking the roast:
Garlic, chervil, dill weed, onions, paprika, parsley & rosemary
3 - To Prepare STANDING RIB ROAST (common name PRIME RIB)
Refrigerate the meat until roasting in 325 degree oven. Roast
uncovered. Do not add water.
Bake a 6-8 pound roast (smaller roast require more minutes per pound
to cook). Degree of Doneness - RARE 28-30 minutes per pound internal
meat temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit, MEDIUM 30-32 minutes per
pound internal meat temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit, WELL DONE
32-35 minutes per pound internal meat temperature of 170 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Use a shallow roasting pan or broiler pan & rack.
Carving tips: Remove roast from oven 20 minutes before carving. This
allows juices to set and permits easier carving and more uniform
slices.
4 - Standing Rib Roast (6 to 8 servings - with "planned-overs")
6 to 8 pound standing rib roast (3 to 4 ribs)
salt and pepper
Optional - To really make a tender and tasty roast, coat the exterior
of the roast with ROCK SALT before baking. Be sure not to allow rock
salt to remain in the roast drippings when used for Yorkshire Pudding.
1. Season roast with salt and pepper and place in uncovered roasting
pan with fat side up--standing on rib ends. No roasting rack is
necessary; the bones keep meat above drippings.
2. Do not cover pan or add water.
3. Roast to desired degree of doneness using timetable given
previously.
4. Carve. Garnish with watercress and mushrooms or spiced crab
apples. Each rib will yield two generous slices, one with bone and
one without.
5. Save pan drippings for Yorkshire Pudding.
I normally serve the Standing Rib Roast (PRIME RIB) with Horseradish
Cream Sauce.
Horseradish Cream Sauce
1 cup stiffly beaten heavy whipping cream
2-3 tablespoons fresh well-grated horseradish root
1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar
Dash each salt and white pepper
Add ingredients slowly, blending well. May be made in a blender.
Serve thoroughly chilled.
Classically the dessert served with Roast is plum pudding. Which
seems to be a popular subject on several cooking newsgroups currently.
I have even made the prime rib on an Open Hearth Electric Spit
Rotisserie.
For baking roast this way the diameter of the roast determines the
length
of time needed to cook. But normally for 3 ribs, cut bone short at
4-5"
length trim fat, roll and tie. For 5-6 pound roast cook 2 1/2 to 2
3/4
hours for RARE, 3 to 3 1/4 hours for MEDIUM and 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 hours
for
WELL DONE. This is the method I used almost 25 years ago for a party
I
gave for my parents 25th Anniversary. As I recall, I could fit 2
roasts
on the spit rotisserie to cook them.
Good Luck and Enjoy!

1/3 cup very finely chopped onion 2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp very finely minced garlic 1 1/2 tsp - 1 Tbsp salt
3 Tbsp finely chopped parsley 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 cup fresh bread crumbs 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 egg 2 1/2 lb lean ground chuck
1/2 cup cold water 30 oz tomato sauce
Combine chopped onion, garlic, parsley and bread crumbs in a food
processor and mix 30 seconds.

Add
water, olive oil, salt, pepper, and nutmeg to the egg and whisk until
well whisked.
Add the bread crumb mixture, combining with a spatula. Add the ground
meat and mix thoroughly until ingredients are well distributed and the

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Using a medium sized ice cream
scoop, scoop out a portion onto a lightly oiled jelly roll pan. Form
each meatball by rolling in the palm of your hand until they feel
tight and solid. (The finished meatballs should be about the size of
a golf ball.)
Pour 1/4 cup water into the pan and place in the oven. Time 15
minutes. Remove from the oven and loosen with a spatula. Return to
the oven an additional 10 minutes, or until cooked through. Drain.

MEXICAN CASSEROLE
Instructions:
1 pkg Kraft Dinner (no name brand will do)
1/2 - 1lb of hamburger meat
1 can of corn niblets (drained)
1 can of tomato soup (undiluted)
1 can of cream of mushroom soup (undiluted)
1 can of mushrooms (optional)
1/2 green pepper chopped (optional)
1 med. onion chopped (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp. curry powder
First make your Kraft Dinner according to the directions on the box.
Brown hamburger meat and drain. If using onions, partially cook in
pan
with hamburger meat. Put all cooked ingredients into an oven safe
casserole dish (you can also use a roast pan). Add the soup
(undiluted),
corn (drained), mushrooms, green pepper and curry. Mix thoroughly and
place in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for one hour.
I have made this recipe with as well as without the optional
ingredients
and either way it is very good. At times I have also tried it with a
little splash of Tabasco sauce. This gives it a nice added kick.
This dish is very easy to make and very tasty. Feel free to play with
the ingredients by adding or subtracting from the recipe. It makes
enough
for two with enough leftover for next day's lunch. Hope you try it
and enjoy!

MISTAKEN GOULASH FOR FOUR
Instructions:
1 tablespoon cooking oil
4 large onions, thinly-sliced
1 pound beef suitable for stewing (i.e., chuck, round, etc.), cut
into bite-size pieces
1 small can (8 oz.) tomato paste
1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons (yes, that much!) sweet paprika
1 tablespoon caraway seed (optional, but they'll dissolve in the long
cooking so don't omit them just to keep them out of your teeth--
they do give flavor)
water
Heat oil in a large heavy pot which has a cover. Add onions,
and cook covered over medium-low heat for ten minutes, stirring
occasionally. Onions should be translucent and limp after that
time, but not brown. Remove onions (I simply invert the covered pot
and let them be caught by the cover) and set aside. Raise heat and
brown cubes of beef in batches, so as not to cool the pot by putting
too many in. Return onions; add tomato paste and seasonings, and
just enough water to barely cover the mixture. Stir well; raise
heat to bring pot to boiling, then reduce heat to a simmer and
cover. Cook for as long as you can manage, at least three hours, or
place for the same time or longer in oven heated to 250 degrees.
The onions should dissolve and disappear into the sauce. The longer
this cooks over low heat the better it will taste, and as with all
these long-cooked things, it's even better the day after it's first
cooked. Serve ladled over cooked noodles or rice, and use any
leftovers just as they are as a shepherd's pie topped with mashed
potato mixed with egg and browned in the oven.

remove the po from the oven and pour off the sauce. Return the pot
to
the oven, uncovered, for a final 10 minutes of cooking.
Meanwhile, put the sauce into a blender container and blend. Taste
for
seasoning; the sauce should be "sweet and sour." If not, add brown
sugar and/or vinegar. Heat the sauce, thicken with the arrowroot,
and
serve over the meat and German potato pancakes.

RARE PRIME RIB
Instructions:
Yield: 16 servings
12 lb Prime rib roast
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Remove roast from the refrigerator at least two hours before
beginning to cook. Place in a shallow roasting pan and liberally
sprinkle fatty top with salt and pepper. Pat in. To protect the oven
from spattering fat, place a tent of aluminum foil loosely over the
top of the meat. Preheat the oven to 500*F and when preheated place
roast in oven and roast for the times listed below. THE TIMES MUST
ABE ADHERED TO EXACTLY. Set a timer to remind you as a few minutes of
overcooking will ruin the roast. When the cooking time ends, turn off
the oven but DO NOT open the door. Allow the roast to remain in the
oven for at least 1 hour or until the oven is lukewarm, which occurs
in about 2 hours. The roast will be beautifully rare inside and
retain a crunchy outside and an internal heat suitable for serving
for 2 hours. The roasting time works out to 15 minutes per rib or
approximately 5 minutes per pound. NOTES: 1. For a 2 rib roast
weighing 41/2 -5 lbs. allow 25 to 30 minutes at 500*F
2. For a 3 rib roast weighing 8-9 lbs. allow 40-45 minutes at
500F
For a 4 rib roast weighing 11-12 lbs. allow 55-60 minutes at
500*F
Have your butcher prepare the roast by removing the chine
bone and cutting the meat from the bones. Then return the chine bone
and the meat to its original shape and tie the roast to hold it
together. This will facilitate your carving.
A small end Prime rib is always the best.

3 c. red wine vinegar
1 1/2 T salt
3/4 tsp. thyme
1 1/2 T pickling spice

2) Remove meat from marinate - wipe spices from meat and brown in
1 1/2 T butter (save marinate).
3) When brown, remove meat to plate.
4) In pan, melt 4 1/2 T more butter. Add 3 1/2 T flour and stir till

SAUERBRATEN (POT ROAST)
Instructions:
INGREDIENTS
-------
4 lb beef **
1 pt vinegar
water
4 bay leaf
12 who peppercorns, black
4 who cloves
1 bun carrot
6 onion
1 Tbsp sugar
12 gingersnaps
salt & pepper
** Use beef chuck, rump, or round.
*** My notes: Watch meat while it sits and add more vinegar and water
(half of each) to keep meat covered. A similar recipe in Bon Appetit
used red vinegar and red wine for the marinade and the beef was left
in the refrigerator for about 9 days.
Wipe meat with damp cloth and then sprinkle thoroughly with salt and
pepper. Place meat in an earthen dish and add vinegar and enough water
to cover. Add the bay leaves, peppercorns and cloves, and let stand
tightly covered for 5 days in a cool place.
Cut carrots in strips; slice onions. Put meat in a dutch oven and
brown well on all sides. Add the carrots and onions and 1 cup of the
spiced vinegar. Cover tightly and cook over low flame about 3 hours or
until meat is tender. When meat is cooked, add the sugar and crumbled
ginger snaps and cook for 10 minutes. This makes delicious gravy. If
necessary, more of the spiced vinegar may be added.

SCHNITZEL A LA HOLSTEIN
Instructions:
Two - 4 ounces slices of veal, inside round
Salt and pepper
Flour for dredging
Egg wash for dipping-1 egg, beaten with 1/4 cup milk
Seasoned bread crumbs, for coating
Oil for pan frying
2 eggs
4 anchovies, rinsed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 lemon, split
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 teaspoon capers, rinsed
Working with one piece of veal at a time, place the veal slice between
two large
pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound
the meat
until 1/4-inch thick, being careful not to make any tears in the meat.
Repeat
with the remaining piece of veal. Season the veal with salt and
pepper. Dredge
in the flour, shake off excess. Dip into the egg wash, allow excess to
drip off.
Coat in the bread crumbs.
Heat 3/4 cup of oil in a large skillet until very hot. Place the veal
pieces
into the oil. (A sign of a good schnitzel is when the breading
"bubbles" up
while pan frying.) Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and
cook until
golden. Remove and keep warm on a service platter. Remove the excess
oil from
the skillet.
Crack the eggs into the skillet, season and cook perfect sunny side up
eggs.
Place a cooked egg on top of each veal schnitzel. Criss cross the egg
with 2
anchovies each. In the same pan, brown the butter, squeeze in the
lemon juice,
add the parsley and capers and pour the sauce over the entire platter.

SCHWENKBRATEN
Instructions:
Beef: roastbeef or T-bones - the beef should not be too fresh.
Pork: shoulder or rib - eye
Every piece should have among 350 and 500 gram and it should be cut
regular.
Spices: salt, pepper, onions, garlic
The meat should be prepared one night before eating. At first spice
the
meat with salt and pepper. Now peel the onions and cut them in rings.
Spice them with salt and pepper, too and press them in a little bit.
Put
the onions and the meat in sites. The last site is onions. The next
day
you start a big beech-wood-fire and burn it down until it's very hot.
Rearrange the onions now and put the meat on the grill. It should be
well done from both sides. The meat is ready after about 25 minutes
(it
depends on the weight). The meat is ready when it starts loosing juice
or when it is not compliant any more when you press it. Pork should be
done very well, beef can be done medium or English, just as you like
it.
As supplement we recommend green salad, fresh bread and grilled
potatoes. We wish a delicious meal.
The most important ingredient is very STRONG ONIONS otherwise it
doesn't
come out so well.

1/4 pound blue cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup buttermilk
Freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 pound sliced bacon, chopped
2 cups sliced yellow onions
3/4 pounds haricots verts, blanched
4 filet mignons (about 6 ounces each)
Creole seasoning
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
Preheat the oven 400 degrees F. Put the cheese, buttermilk, black

SHEPHERD'S PIE
Instructions:
Yield: 6 servings
1 lb Leftover roast beef
2 T Butter/margerine
1 c Onions; finely chopped
1/2 c Carrots; finely chopped
1/2 c Celery; finely chopped
2 T Parsley; finely chopped
3 T Flour
2 T Tomato paste
1/2 c Wine, white, dry
1 1/2 c Chicken stock
1 ts Worcestershire sauce
Pepper; to taste
1 c Corn kernels (fresh or
-frozen); cooked
2 c Potatoes, mashed
1/2 c Cheddar, sharp; grated
Cut the meat into 1/4" cubes. There should be about 3 cups. Set
aside. Heat the butter in a saucepan and add onions, carrots, celery
and parsley. Cook, stirring, until the onions are wilted. Sprinkle
with flour and stir with a wire whisk. Add the tomato paste, wine,
stock, Worcestershire sauce and pepper, stirring rapidly with the
whisk. Let simmer 10 minutes and stir in the cubed meat and the corn.
Cook 5 minutes longer.
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Put the meat and sauce in a seven-cup
baking dish or casserole. Outfit a pastry bag with a round pastry
tube--No. 7 or 8--and spoon mashed potatos into the bag. (No need
for this really. You can just spread the potatoes nicely with a
spoon/butter knife etc.) Pipe the potatoes neatly and evenly on top
of the meat mixture, covering it completely. Sprinkle evenly with
cheese and place the dish in the oven. Bake 30 to 45 minutes, or
until the dish is piping hot throughout and the cheese is melted. If
necessary, run the dish briefly under the broiler to glaze the top.

SHEPHERD'S PIE 1
Instructions:
Shepherd's Pie has been a favorite of mine (and several members of my
family) for as long as I can remember. It's sooooo
easy, give it a try and spring-board to add your own variations.
The original version is:
Use the leftovers from a roast beef, and place them in the bottom of a
baking dish (the size depends on how much leftovers
you have, how many people you're feeding, etc.).
Make mashed potatoes (again you must judge how much you'll need) and
place them directly on top of the beef. Bake in
the oven for about hour at 350 degrees, just until warmed through. You
can dot the top of the potatoes with butter for a
golden finish.
The updated version for people who want to eat the same day is:
Fry about 2 lbs. of hamburger with 1 chopped onion. Place in baking
dish. Make or use leftover mashed potatoes and place
them on top of the hamburger. Bake for hour at 350 degrees, just until
warmed through. Serve with gravy.
Simple variations:
Some people put the gravy over the hamburger
before
the potatoes go on.
Some people put corn or peas, whatever between the
hamburger and the potatoes.
In an effort to cut down on fat, I've tried using
turkey-burger instead of hamburger, we didn't care for it. It so
drastically changed the taste.
Some people use instant mashed potatoes for a
quick
dinner.
In our house we like garlic, so while I'm boiling
the potatoes for mashing, I throw a clove or two of garlic in the
water. When the potatoes are done, just mash
everything together, it ms a great way to add just a little more
flavor.
Tailor it to your taste and let me know how it comes out. It's pretty
simple and doesn't take too much prep time, especially
if you happen to have a lot of mashed potatoes leftover.
Some other suggestions (from a reader!) for Shepherd's Pie.
For singles, it's good to know that the hamburger version freezes
well.
I have made a pan (layered hamburger, cream-style
corn, mashed potatos) then frozen sectons in microwavable dishes and
can
just pop them into the microwave after a long day
at work. Or, if I think about it before, put one in the refrigerator
for
baking when I get home.
Some variations.
Try using a taco seasoning with the hamburger, or other favorite meat
seasonings, it certainly gives it a different favor.
When using meat seasonings, add vegetables or other ingredients that
compliment that seasoning, i.e. snow peas when using
teryaki sauce, shredded cheddar cheese when using the taco seasoning..
Add grated cheese to the mashed potatos.

THE BEST CHICKEN-FRIED STEAK SOUTH OF OMAHA
Ingredients:
salt, pepper, garlic
1 tbl adolfs meat tenderizer
1 can flat beer
flour
1 6 oz round stak cutlet, tenderized
Instructions:
Bill Maxwell, former Texas restaurateur, originally claimed his
chicken-fried steak was the "best found south of the Rio Brazos."
Subsequent chicken-fried steak contests proved him truthful, so he
extended his claim to include all lands south of the Arkansas River.
In another conversation with Bill, we found his "boundary" had crept
north to Omaha, Nebraska. Well, eventually he's gonna have to
stop at the North Pole ... we hope.
Sprinkle salt, pepper and garlic salt on both sides of tenderized
steak
to taste. Put steak onto a tray that is well-covered with flour.
Then "pound the hell out of it (the steak) with stiff fingers, working
from the center out, until it reaches the size of an L.P. record."
(That's those things they used to make before compact discs). Flip
several times and repeat pounding. Mix eggs, beer, 1 teaspoon salt
and Adolph's meat tenderizer in a shallow bowl. Add enough flour to
make
a thin, watery batter. Beat mixture smooth. Dip meat into
batter. "Flop" back onto flour tray and cover with flour. Pound again
with fingertips until moisture is absorbed. Cook in deep fat at
350 degrees until golden brown. Serve with French fries and cover with
white gravy.

TIPS FOR CORNED BEEF
Instructions:
From: listmoms@usa.net
Food Tip
The Oregonian, March 16, 1999
Adinner of corned beef and cabbage is a popular way to celebrate St.
Patrick's Day. Cooking corned beef is easy. Just put the meat into a
large
pan, add water to cover, then gently simmer until the meat is fork
tender.
Add vegetables, cook and dinner is ready.
Corning beef
Corning is a form of curing; it has nothing to do with corn. The name
comes
from the Anglo-Saxon times, long before refrigeration or, for that
matter,
the discovery of maize in the New World.
In those early days, the meat was dry-cured in coarse "corns" of salt.
Pellets of salt were rubbed into the beef to preserve it and keep it
from
spoiling. Today, brining -- using salt water, sugar, preservatives and
sometimes garlic and pickling spices -- has replaced the dry-salt
cure, but
the term "corned beef" is still used.
Storing corned beef
Uncooked corned beef is often packaged with pickling juices in a
pouch. If
it has a "sell-by" date, or no date, it may be be stored a maximum of
five
to seven days in the refrigerator, unopened. Products with a "use-by"
date
can be stored unopened in the refrigerator until that date.
Drained and well-wrapped, an uncooked corned beef may be frozen. For
best
quality, freeze only up to one month. The flavor and texture will
dimish
with prolonged freezing, but the product is still safe. After cooking,
corned beef may be refrigerated about three to four days and frozen
about
two to three months.
Cooking times
Because corned beef is made of less-tender cuts of beef -- such as the
brisket, rump or round -- it requires long, moist cooking. To cook on
top
of the stove, place meat, fat side up, with brine and spices in a
large
pot; cover it with water. Bring water to a boil; then reduce the heat
and
simmer covered, allowing 45 minutes to 1 hour per pound. Boiling does
not
hasten the cooking; it only makes the meat tough and dry.
If a spice packet is not included with the beef you buy, prepare a
bouquet
garni by wrapping spices in a cheesecloth package. For a 4-pound piece
of
corned beef, use 2 bay leaves, 2 teaspoons black peppercorns, 3 or 4
sprigs
fresh thyme or 12 teaspoon dried, 12 teaspoon mustard seed, and 2
whole
cloves. Or use 1 or 2 tablespoons of pickling spice. Place the spices
in
the center of a cheesecloth square and tie opposite corners. Place in
pot
while the corned beef is simmering; remove when beef is cooked.
Simmer the 4 pounds of meat slowly for 3 to 4 hours. Start checking
after
212 hours by piercing meat with a large, 2-tined fork. The fork
should
come out very easily; if not, continue simmering until it does. When
beef
is cooked, taste broth and, if not too salty, add potatoes, onion,
carrots
and carrots and cook until tender. Otherwise, steam the vegetables
separately.
To cook in the oven, place meat, fat side up, with brine and spices in
a
large casserole or a roasting pan. Barely cover the meat with water --
by
about 1 inch -- cover and place in a 325-degree oven; allow 1 hour
cooking
time per pound.
"Fork tender" is a good indication of doneness when baking corned
beef, but
use a meat thermometer to be sure. Cook until the internal temperature
has
reached at least 160 degrees. Other recipes call for simmering the
beef,
then baking in the oven.
Corned beef is still pinkish-red after cooking; this does not mean it
is
not cooked. The pink comes from the nitrite that is used in curing.
Advance cooking
You may prefer to cook the corned beef ahead of time. It is easier to
cut
uniform slices when the meat is cold. After cooking a whole corned
beef,
slice or cut it into several pieces for faster cooling. Place pieces
in
small, shallow containers to cool quickly in the refrigerator. Strain
the
broth and refrigerate it separately. Just before serving, cook
vegetables
in the broth.
To heat corned beef, place slices in a casserole, add about 12 cup
broth,
cover and heat in a 350-degree oven until piping hot.

1 egg, well beaten
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp savory
2 cups all purpose flour
6-8 tablespoons ice water
Cream together butter and lard, Stir in the egg, salt and savory.
Mix
well and work in the flour with your hands. Sprinkle half the waster
on
top and blend; then add the rest of the water, enough to make the
dough
cling together. Do not overwork the pastry or make it too wet. Roll

2-3 lb very lean pork, finely diced
4 small onions, chopped
4 cooked potatoes, diced
1 1/2-2 tsp sage
1 tbsp savory
1 tbsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour

WIENER SCHNITZEL 2
Instructions:
Copyright 1999, Hans Rockenwagner, All rights reserved
6 veal cutlets
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Salt
1/2 to 1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten with 2 tablespoons cold water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 generous cup fine, dry bread crumbs
4 to 5 tablespoons butter
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Pound the veal cutlets to an
even, approximately 1/8-inch thickness, or have your butcher
do this for you. In a dish, sprinkle the cutlets with lemon
juice and let stand for 30 minutes. Season both sides with
salt. Place the flour on a flat plate, and place the egg/water
mixture in a wide, shallow bowl. Add the oil to the egg
mixture and beat in with a fork. Spread the bread crumbs on a
large plate. Dip the cutlets lightly into the flour, making
sure to coat all surfaces, then gently shake off the excess
flour. Dip the cutlets into the egg mixture, letting the
excess drip away, and then dredge them in the bread crumbs.
Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. Heat your
largest, heavy skillets over medium-high heat and add the
butter. When the butter is quite hot and the foam starts to
subside, add the veal (cook in batches if necessary - but
don't crowd them in the pan). If the butter browns too much
after cooking the first batch, you may need to discard it,
wipe out the pan, and add more butter for the next batch. Cook
for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, until golden brown, and turn
with a spatula (don't use a fork or tongs, or the breading may
be pierced). When the second side is golden, the schnitzels
should be cooked through. Transfer to a warm platter and keep
warm in a 250 degree oven while you cook the second batch, if
necessary.
