Shaved Frozen Beef. This affords a pleasant change in winter. It is a dish that can be served only in freezing weather. Get a slice of round steak, cut thin. Roll it up tight, and tie it in this position. Pin a thin napkin or piece of cloth over this roll, and hang up where the meat will freeze solid. When ready to cook the meat, shave off thin slices, and season them with salt and pepper. Put some butter on the fire in the fpying-pan, and when it gets hot put in the shaved beef. Cook for four minutes, stirring all the time with a fork. Turn into a hot dish, and serve at once. For one pound of meat use a large table-spoonful of butter, a teaspoonful of salt, and one-fifth of a teaspoon- ful of pepper

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
