Or, you may broil instead of frying it, after it has been parboiled.
CORNED BEEF.
56. One hundred pounds of beef,

Two ounces and a half of saltpetre,
One pound and a half of sugar,
Four gallons of water.

JEWISH METHOD OF PREPARING BEEF FOR SALTING.
57. Take out all the veins. Sprinkle with salt and let it lay for half an hour; wash off all the salt and soak it half an hour in cold water, drain it and then put it in the pickle as directed above.
[BOILED CORNED BEEF.]
58. Put on the meat in cold water; allow one quart of water to every pound of meat. The slower it boils the better it will be. For every pound of meat let it boil fifteen minutes; thus, a piece of beef weighing twelve pounds should boil three hours. If the beef is to be eaten cold—as soon as it is taken out of the pot immerse it in cold water for a short time, in order to retain the juices.
Tongues are boiled in the same manner.
