ROAST BEEF
My favorite food is Roast Beef, rare, or a good American sirloin steak, which, I take it, are so simple to prepare that they need no recipe.
Suggestions:
1. Stand your roast on two or three thin slices of bacon—not too fat.
2. On the top of the roast lay three or four thin slices of lemon—particularly if you like the “outside cut.”
3. If your steak looks a bit fresh rub with lemon juice (both sides) and allow to stand several hours before broiling or frying. Don’t be frightened if it turns a bit black—be glad.
4. Pan may be rubbed with garlic.
5. Steaks should be thick, particularly if you broil.
