Hamburg Beef, Smoked, to Boil

Soak the meat in lukewarm water, and let it remain over-night, then dry it, and cut away any discoloured parts. Trim and roll it neatly and firmly, and bind it with tapes. Put it into plenty of cold water, remove the scum carefully, and let it boil until no more rises, then draw it to the side of the fire, and simmer gently until done enough. If two or three carrots and onions are boiled with the beef, the flavour will be improved. Strew grated bread-crumbs over it before serving. Time, as a general rule half an hour may be given for each pound, after the water has boiled. Probable cost, 1s. per pound. Sufficient, beef weighing seven pounds for twelve persons.
