beans, and set a grilled mushroom on each tournedos.

1100—TOURNEDOS LESDIGUIÈRES
Select onions sufficiently large to admit of placing the tournedos upon
them, and let their number equal that of the tournedos.
Trim their tops, and parboil them almost long enough to cook them.
Then, by means of a small knife, cut out their insides so that they may form
little cases. Fill the latter, two-thirds full, with spinach prepared with cream,
cover the spinach with Mornay sauce, and set them to glaze in a fierce oven
a few moments before the tournedos are ready.
Grill the tournedos; dish them in the form of a crown, each on an onion.

1101—TOURNEDOS LILI
Season the tournedos, and fry them in butter.
Dish them, in the form of a crown, each on a crust of “Pommes de terre
Anna” (No. 2203), stamped out with a round, even cutter of the same size
as the tournedos.
On each tournedos set an artichoke-bottom garnished with a roundel of foie
gras tossed in butter, and on the foie gras place a slice of truffle. Send,
separately, a reduced and well-buttered Périgueux sauce.

1102—TOURNEDOS LUCULLUS
Season the tournedos; fry them in clarified butter, and dish them, in the
form of a crown, on fried crusts. Surround them with a garnish consisting of
quenelles of chicken forcemeat, cocks’ combs, truffles, and blanched olives,
and coat the whole with half-glaze sauce prepared with truffle essence.
1103—TOURNEDOS MADELEINE
For ten tournedos prepare (1) ten timbales of a purée of haricot beans. For
these timbales the purée of haricot beans must be cohered per lb. with one
egg and three yolks, finished with two oz. of butter, put into well-buttered
dariole-moulds, and set these to poach fifteen minutes in advance.
(2) Ten small artichoke-bottoms garnished with reduced Soubise.
Season the tournedos; fry them in butter; dish them, and surround them with
the timbales and the artichoke-bottoms, alternating the two garnishes.

1104—TOURNEDOS MARÉCHALE

butter; small, olive-shaped potatoes, also cooked in butter; and olive-shaped
truffles.

same size, and, in the middle of each tournedos, set a large slice of poached
marrow.
Surround with a row of small artichoke-bottoms, garnished with very stiff
Béarnaise sauce.

1108—TOURNEDOS A LA MÉNAGÈRE
Put into an earthenware cocotte the following vegetables, which should be
in proportion to the number of tournedos:—Haricot butter or “Princesse”
cut into small pieces, minced new carrots, very small new onions, and very
fresh peas.
All these vegetables should be equally apportioned.
Add salt, butter, and a very little water, for the cooking of the vegetables
should be effected mainly by the concentration of steam inside the cocotte,
which, for the purpose, should therefore be well closed.
Fry the tournedos in butter, and dish them upon the vegetables in the
cocotte at the last moment.

centre of the rosette.

1116—TOURNEDOS MONTPENSIER

1140—FILETS EN CHEVREUIL
For the “en chevreuil” treatment, the meat used is generally cut from the
narrowest end of the fillet of beef. The weight of the pieces cut should
average about three oz. each.
After having slightly flattened and trimmed them, lard them with very thin
strips of bacon, and marinade them for a few hours in the raw marinade
given under No. 169. When about to cook them, dry them thoroughly, and
fry them quickly in hot oil, taking care that the latter be smoking, and
therefore hot enough to set the meat and to cause its external moisture to
evaporate.
The fillets may be accompanied by all vegetable purées and highly-
seasoned sauces, the most suitable of the latter being the Poivrade and the
Chasseur.

1141—SIRLOIN OF BEEF (Relevé)


Sirloin of beef is that part of the bullock’s back reaching from the haunch to
the floating ribs, which is equivalent to the saddle in veal and mutton. This
piece, however, cannot properly be called “sirloin,” except when it
comprises the fillet or undercut, and the upper fillet (Fr.: contrefilet), so-
called to distinguish it from the undercut. If this joint be treated whole, it
need only be shortened by suppressing the flank, and by sectioning the
ligament lying alongside of the chine on the upper fillet, in different places.
A little fat is left on the undercut, but none whatever must be removed from
the upper fillet. As a rule, when sirloin of beef is braised, it is cut laterally
into pieces weighing from six to seven lbs. If it is to be roasted, it is best to
keep it whole.
When served as a relevé, it is braised or roasted, and is kept underdone if so
desired. Unless it be of excellent quality, however, braised sirloin generally
turns out to be dry.
All garnishes given for “Filet de Bœuf” may be served with sirloin; but, as a
rule, the bulkiest, such as the “Richelieu,” the “Provençale,” the
“Godard,” &c., are selected.
The accompanying sauce is that indicated for the above garnishes.

1142—PORTERHOUSE-STEAK (Grill)
Porterhouse-steak is a slice from the sirloin of beef, which may be more or
less thick. It is cleared of the flank and of the bones of the chine, and it is
always grilled.
It may be served with any of the various garnishes and sauces suited to
grills; but it is more often served plain.
1143—UPPER FILLET AND RIBS OF BEEF (Relevé)
The upper fillet is that part of beef which lies between the top of the haunch
and the floating ribs, alongside of the chine. It may be treated like the fillet,
and all the garnishes suited to the latter may also be applied here.
If the piece is to be braised, it should be completely boned; if intended for
roasting, it is best to retain the bones. In the latter case, the large ligament
should be cut at various points with the view of preventing distortion, while
the bones constituting the spinous process should be broken close to the
point where they join the body of the vertebræ, that they may be easily
removed when the meat is being carved.
The upper fillet, especially when it is of good quality, is best roasted.
Ribs of beef may likewise be braised or roasted.
In either case, the meat should be properly trimmed and cleared of all the
bones of the spinous process.
This piece should only be used after having been well hung, in order that it
may be as tender as possible.

1144—GRILLED SIRLOIN STEAKS AND RIBS OF BEEF


The sirloin steak may be cut either from the upper fillet or the ribs of beef,
i.e., between two rib-bones. In order that its cooking may be regular, it
should not weigh more than from two to three lbs.
Ribs of beef may also be grilled, provided they be sufficiently tender.
They may be braised, too, and in this case they are served with any of the
various garnishes given under Fillet of Beef.

1145—PIÈCE DE BŒUF BRAISÉE (Relevé)


The piece of beef called rump is the one preferred for boiling and braising.
Whatever be the use for which the meat is intended, the weight of the pieces
should not be more than six or eight lbs. at the most, and they should be cut
in the length rather than in the thickness, that the cooking process may be
facilitated.
All the garnishes of braised sirloin of beef are suited to braised pieces of
beef.
Boiled beef is generally accompanied by the vegetables used in its cooking-
process, by purées, green or dry vegetables, pastes, macaroni, &c., &c.

1146—PIÈCE DE BŒUF A LA BOURGUIGNONNE


Lard the piece of beef, and marinade it for three hours in brandy and red
wine. Braise it after the manner described under No. 247; moisten first with
the wine of the marinade, and, when the latter is reduced, with some veal
gravy and one-half pint of Espagnole sauce per quart of liquid, taking care
that the whole moistening reaches the top of the piece of meat. Add a faggot
and some mushroom parings; set to boil, and cook gently in the oven.
When the meat is two-thirds cooked, transfer it to another saucepan, and
surround it with mushrooms cut into two or four, according to their size,
and tossed in butter; breast of bacon, cut into dice, blanched and tossed in
butter, and some small onions half-glazed with butter.
Strain the sauce through a sieve over the piece of beef and its garnish, and
complete the cooking gently.
A few minutes before serving, put the meat on a dish and glaze it in the
oven. Transfer the meat to the dish intended for the table; quickly reduce
the sauce if necessary, and pour it over the piece of beef and the garnish.

1147—PIÈCE DE BŒUF A LA CUILLER


Select a very square or oval piece of beef, and bear in mind, in selecting it,
that it will have to be fashioned to the shape of a case when it has been
cooked.
String it, and braise it after the manner described under No. 247, almost
entirely covering it with moistening liquor.
Set it to cook gently; withdraw the piece when the meat is still somewhat
firm, and let it cool under slight pressure.
This done, cut out the meat from the inside; leave a thickness of about half-
inch round the sides and on the bottom, and the piece thus emptied should
constitute a square or oval case, in accordance with the shape originally
adopted.
Coat the outside of the whole piece with a mixture of beaten eggs and fine
bread-crumbs, combined with Parmesan; sprinkle melted butter over it with
a brush, and put the case into a sufficiently hot oven to allow of a crust
forming round it.
Meanwhile chop up the meat extracted from the inside of the piece; add
thereto a little salted tongue, some braised slices of sweet-bread, and
mushrooms; put the whole into a sautépan with an Italian or a half-glaze
sauce, according to the requirements, and heat this garnish.
N.B.—This preparation was quite common in old-fashioned cookery, but
though it is still served occasionally, it is now looked upon more as a
curiosity than anything else. As a curiosity, therefore, I chose to include it
among these recipes; but it does not follow from this that I in any way
recommend it.

1148—PIÈCE DE BŒUF A LA FLAMANDE


Lard the piece of beef, and braise it as explained under No. 247.
Meanwhile prepare the following garnish:—(1) Cut a nice firm cabbage
into four, remove the heart, and parboil it for seven or eight minutes. Drain
it; cool it; divide up the quarters, leaf by leaf, so as to remove the hard ribs,
and season with salt and pepper.
Mould them to the shape of balls by pressing them in the corner of a towel
into balls weighing about three oz. each, or simply put them into a saucepan
with a quartered carrot, an onion stuck with a clove, a faggot, six oz. of
blanched breast of pork, and a little raw sausage with garlic, which latter
must be withdrawn after cooking has gone on for one and one-half hours.
Moisten the cabbage with just sufficient consommé to cover it; add a few
tablespoonfuls of good stock-fat; set to boil, and cook gently in the oven for
one and one-half hours.
(2) Cut the required quantity of carrots and turnips to the shape of olives;
cook them in consommé, and reduce the latter for the purpose of glazing.
(3) Prepare some potatoes à l’anglaise.
Set the piece of beef on a dish large enough to allow of the former being
surrounded with the moulded or plainly-heaped cabbages, the glazed carrots
and turnips, and the potatoes à l’anglaise. The last two vegetables should be
set in alternate heaps with the cabbages and the bacon (cut into small
rectangles) and the sausage (cut into roundels) should be distributed all
round.
Serve separately the gravy of the piece of beef, cleared of all grease,
reduced to a half-glaze and strained.

1149—PIÈCE DE BŒUF A LA MODE CHAUDE


Lard the piece of beef, which should not, if possible, weigh more than from
four to five lbs. The strips of bacon used for larding ought to have been
prepared fifteen or twenty minutes in advance, marinaded in a few
tablespoonfuls of brandy, and sprinkled with parsley just before being used.
Rub the piece with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and put it into a basin with one
bottle of red wine and one-fifth pint of brandy, and set it to marinade for
four or five hours, taking care to turn it over from time to time.
Then set it to braise after the manner described under No. 247; add its
marinade to the moistening, and surround it with three small, boned,
blanched, and strung calf’s feet.
When the cooking is three-quarters done, transfer the piece of beef to
another saucepan, and surround it with the following garnish:—
1. About one-quarter lb. of carrots turned to the shape of elongated olives,
and already two-thirds cooked.
2. Small onions coloured in two-thirds lb. of butter.
3. The calf’s feet cut into small, square, or rectangular pieces.
Strain the braising-liquor over the whole, and complete the cooking gently.
When about to serve, either glaze the piece of beef, or dish it plain; coat it
lightly with sauce, and send what remains of the latter, with the garnish, in a
timbale.

1150—PIÈCE DE BŒUF A LA MODE FROIDE


Bœuf à la mode is very rarely prepared specially for cold dishing, the
remains of a fine piece being generally used for that purpose. The piece of
meat must first be well trimmed. If the quantity of sauce do not seem
enough, or if the sauce itself seem too stiff, add a third of its volume of
aspic jelly to it.
For moulding, take a terrine à pâté, a mould, or other utensil capable of
holding the piece of meat, its garnish, and its sauce. Deck the bottom of the
utensil in any suitable way with the carrots and the onions, and surround the
piece with what remains of the latter and the dice of calf’s foot.
Add the sauce, combined with the jelly, after having passed it through a
strainer, and put the whole in the cool for a few hours. Turn out just before
serving, and surround with very light, chopped jelly.

1151—PIÈCE DE BŒUF A LA NOAILLES


Lard the piece of beef, and marinade it in brandy and red wine.
This done, dry it thoroughly, and brown it evenly in butter all over; moisten
it with its marinade and an equal quantity of veal gravy, and set to cook
gently.
When the meat is half-cooked, surround it with two lbs. of minced onions,
tossed in butter, and three oz. of rice. Complete the cooking of the piece
with onions and rice.
Now withdraw the piece of beef, and quickly rub the onions and the rice
through tammy. Reduce this Soubise with rice for a few moments.
Neatly trim the piece of beef; cut it into even slices; reconstruct it on a dish,
and between each slice pour a tablespoonful of Soubise purée.
Cover the reconstructed piece of beef with the remainder of the Soubise;
sprinkle the surface with two tablespoonfuls of bread-crumbs fried in butter,
and some melted butter, and put the whole in the oven, that the gratin may
form speedily.

1152—THE RUMP
R B .
The rump is that portion of the sirloin of beef which touches the top of the
haunch.
It may be braised, but it is more often grilled in slices from one inch to one
and one-half inches thick, which are called “rumpsteaks.”
With reference to this subject, it is as well to point out that the term
“Beefsteak,” so hackneyed in France, is scarcely used in England, owing to
its want of precision.
In France, beefsteak is either a cut from the fillet, the upper-fillet, or the
rump, according to the standing of the catering-house which supplies it. But
the nature of the piece cannot very well be mistaken, inasmuch as the term
beefsteak, which designates it, is generally followed by other French words
which reveal its origin, whereas in England the term “Beefsteak” does not
convey any particular meaning.
Rumpsteak is either grilled or sautéd, but whatever be the method of
cooking it, it is generally served plain.
All garnishes suited to fillets, however, may be served with it, as also the
various butters and sauces generally used with grills.

1153—LANGUE DE BŒUF
Ox tongue is served fresh or salted, but, even when it is to be served fresh,
it is all the better for having been put in salt a few days previously. In order
to salt it, put it into a special brine, as explained under No. 172. When
salted, it is cooked in boiling water; when fresh, it is braised exactly after
the manner of any other piece of meat.
Ox tongue may be served with almost all the garnishes suited to relevés of
fillet of beef, but more particularly with the following:—Bourgeoise;
Flamande; Milanaise; Noodles or Macaroni with cream, cheese or
tomatoes; and all vegetable purées.
The most suitable sauces are:—Madeira sauce, Piquante sauce, Tomato
sauce, or their derivatives.

1154—LANGUE DE BŒUF CHOUCROÛTE


Braise the tongue as described under No. 247, and glaze it at the last
moment. Dish it, and send to the table separately (1) a timbale of well-
braised sauerkraut; (2) a timbale of potato purée; (3) a Madeira sauce,
combined with the braising-liquor of the tongue, cleared of all grease, and
reduced.

1155—LANGUE DE BŒUF BOURGEOISE


Braise the tongue in the usual way.
When it is two-thirds cooked, surround it with carrots fashioned to the
shape of olives and already two-thirds cooked, and small onions browned in
butter.
Complete the cooking gently, and for the rest of the operation, proceed as
for “Pièce de Bœuf à la Mode chaude.”

1156—LANGUE DE BŒUF AUX FÈVES


Tongue intended for this preparation should be put in salt a few days in
advance.
Boil it in the usual way and very gently; glaze it when about to serve, and
dish it. Send to the table separately (1) a timbale of very fresh, skinned,
broad beans, cooked in salted water with a spray of savory, and cohered
with butter at the last moment.
(2) A Madeira sauce.

1157—LANGUE DE BŒUF FLAMANDE


Braise the tongue, and glaze it at the last moment. Surround it with the
garnish “à la Flamande” given under the beef recipe of that name, i.e.,
braised cabbages, glazed carrots and turnips, potatoes à l’anglaise,
rectangles of lean bacon, and roundels of sausage.

1158—LANGUES DE BŒUF FROIDES


Ox tongues intended for cold dishing should be kept in brine (No. 172) for
eight or ten days. When about to use them, put them to soak in cold water
for a few hours, and then cook them plainly in water for three hours.
This done, withdraw them from their cooking-liquor; skin them; cover them
with buttered paper, and let them cool. The object of the paper is to keep off
the air, the tendency of which is to blacken the surface of the meat.
When quite cool, coat the tongues with a glaze composed of one-half lb. of
gelatine dissolved in one pint of water; the latter is given a scarlet tint by
means of carmine and caramel.
Cold ox tongues are dished amidst aspic jelly dice and curled-leaf parsley.
N.B.—The gelatine glaze described above will be found a great
improvement upon the coating of reddened gold-beaters’ skin.

OX TAILS.
Ox tails, sectioned or unsectioned, are usually braised, and only the thicker
half of the caudal appendage is ever used.

1159—QUEUE DE BŒUF A L’AUVERGNATE


Section the tail, and braise it in white wine, after recipe No. 247.
Prepare a garnish of rectangles of lean bacon, large chestnuts cooked in
consommé and glazed, and small onions cooked in butter.
Put the sections of the tail in an earthenware cocotte with the garnish.
