eef, Stewed (Irish method). — Divide two pounds of beef into small pieces — any part will do — and put them into an earthenware pan with a light-fitting cover, with a pint and a half of water, two or three onions, a carrot cut up, and a little salt and pepper. Stew all together in the oven for an hour or more. Lay on the top some peeled potatoes, cover up and put it back into the oven for an hour and a half more, when the potatoes will be reduced to a mash, and the stew will be, as all Irish stews are, ex- cellent. Probable cost, 2s. Sufficient for four or five persons. {See Irish Stew). Beef Stewed in Beer. —Take eight pounds of the silver-side of the round, hang it some days — as the weather will permit — to make it tender. Beat it with a rolling-pin, and then put it into a stewpan with a liquid composed of part mild beer and water, to nearly cover the meat. Add a few slices of bacon, two onions, some cloves, a bay-leaf, a small cup of ^-inegar, a tablcrspoonful of treacle, and the same of any sauce, according to taste. Let it simmer for three hours ; remove the scum as it rises, and when done, take out the beef on a dish, strain and thicken the gravy; add pepper and salt, and throw aU over the meat.
