BETTINA'S RECIPES

(All measurements are level)

Rolled Flank of Beef (Four portions)

1 lb. round steak one inch thick
2 T-flour
1 t-salt
2 one-inch cubes of suet

Wipe the meat, trim the edges, pound on both sides with the edge of a plate to break the tendon. Place the dressing (given below) on the steak, roll, and tie with a cord. Roll in the flour and salt. Place in a small dripping pan, put the suet on the top of the meat, add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan, and bake in a moderate oven for fifty minutes. Baste frequently.

Bread Dressing

1 C-soft bread crumbs
1 T-melted butter
1 t-chopped parsley
½ t-chopped onion
¹/₈ t-celery salt
½ t-salt
¹/₈ t-pepper
2 T-water

Mix all the ingredients in the order named, stirring lightly with a fork. Place in shape on the meat. Care should be taken not to have the dressing soggy or heavy.
