The ladies of 1870s Chicago pooled their recipes and signed every one — corned beef from Mrs. Beaty, lemon pie from Mrs. Saulter.

A La Mode Beef

Miss Sarah Page.

Take a piece of beef four or five inches thick, and with a knife make small holes entirely through it at slight distances apart. Then take strips of fat salt pork, roll them in pepper and cloves. Lay on a pan, cover closely, and put over in a steamer, and steam for three hours. When done, thicken the gravy in the pan with a little flour. This is excellent when eaten as cold meat.
