Season and add browned onions if desired. Chopped meat can be prepared the same way but seasoned first and formed into a steak. ROAST BEEF Prepare and season as desired. Dredge with flour. Place on rack in dripping pan with two or three tablespoons fat in a hot oven, that the surface may be quickly seared thus preventing escape of juice.
