Fricasseed Beef

Take any piece of beef from the fore quarter, such as is generally used for corning, and cook it tender in just water enough to have it all evaporate in cooking. When about half done, put in salt enough to season well, and half teaspoonful pepper. If the water should not boil away soon enough, turn it off, and let the beef fry fifteen minutes-it is better than the best roast beef. Take tow tablespoonfuls flour, adding the fat-when mixed, pour on the hot juice of the meat. Serve with apple sauce.--Mrs. D.
