AEOAST OF BEEF is much improved by searing the cut side just before putting it in the oven. This is done by laying it in a hot pan ovpr a bright fire for 2 or 3 minutes. As soon as one side is brown, turn tverf brown the other side, and place it in a hot oven immediately In roasting meat it is customary to allow 15 minutes to a pound of beef, but when it has been seared before it is p aced m the ov n at Last i an hour can be deducted from the usual time allowed an ordinary roast of 8 pounds^ The 'advantage of the searing process is not, however, so much in saving time in roasting as in searing the juices of the meat by the instant forming of crusts on the outside. ROLLED ROAST browned, reduce the heat and bake 15 minutes to each pound of meat. YORKSHIRE PUDDING Before meat is done make the pudding.
