Mix the meat, bread crumbs, egg, onion, salt, pepper and paprika very thoroughly. Divide and shape into 8 balls (size of an orange). Strain the tomato, add salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne and the vegetables. Use a large kettle so that the meat balls will not be crowded and break. Place them in the kettle. Pour over the tomato with vegetables. Set the ket- tle on a mat to keep from burning. Cook gently over low heat IY2 hours, adding boiling water as needed to keep the same amount of liquid. Tho fat in the pork takes the place of butter for seasoning. The rich red color given to the tomato by the paprika makes a tempting dish when garnished with fresh green parsley. — Mrs. W. E. Metzger, 929 Pacific street, Portland, Or.

To Cook Beefsteak.

51

With a sharp knife remove fat and all stringy substances which prevent the steak from lying flat while cook- ing. Pound steak with smooth wood- en mallet, or its equivalent, crosswise the grain. Have a hot fire with plenty of coals. Put enough suet in an iron spider to grease it well, adding more as necessity requires. When the spider is real hot, put in one or two pieces, according to your heat (do not cook enough at one time to cool the spider), count ten and turn, lifting with a knife and fork, repeating until cooked to suit the taste, rare or well done, lift from the spider carefully, placing on hot platter, turn on hot suet, salt and butter, which will make a lich gravy. Serve on hot plates. The secret of a good steak is not to let the juice get started with cook- ing. Never put on salt until the steak is cooked. (Venison may be cooked the same way.) — Mary E. Heston.
