Hint on Cooking Roast Beef

For roast beef to be juicy and tender when done, it should be basted every few minutes so in order to save yourself this trouble, place a large piece of beef suet on top of the roast; have baking pan perfectly dry and oven very hot; place in the oven and let cook the allotted time-say half an hour, according to the size. You can be about your inside work and in the allotted time your roast is done to a beautiful brown and is very juicy, as it has been constantly basting itself all the while with the suet.

Take roast out of pan, pour off drippings in a bowl and make a gravy on top of stove. A nice addition to this is to put half dozen or so peeled potatoes in the pan with roast when placing it in to cook, and they will be done to a nicety when the roast is. On taking up roast lay baked potatoes around same.

This was an experiment and proved very successful, and saves a great deal of work and worry.
