Roast Beef
After the roast has been well basted with butter or suet, put it in a well heated oven to brown it over, thus keeping the juice inside; after this it may cook more slowly. When about half done season with salt and pepper and dredge with flour; baste frequently. A roast of from 4 to 6 pounds will require 12 hours to be properly done and leave it a little rare inside.
