[Sca-cooks] OOP Left over Roast Beef

[Christina Nevin]

	I could be entirely wrong here, since my copy of the source in
	question is slightly inaccessible for the moment, but doesn't Le
	Menagier provide a recipe for leftover beef slices (something about
	chopped parsley, it is specifically mentioned as a quick fix for
when
	you have a traveller arrive late in the evening)?

	Slice and reheat (for my money on one side only, keeps it a bit more
	tender) in a frying pan or griddle, sprinkle with verjuice or
	vinegar, sprinkle with spice powder... I wish Countess Brekke were
on
	this list; she did this recipe for steaks of beef or venison. Could
	it be Platina?

Yes, it's a beef soup/broth recipe. He also does a wierd kind of beef mash:

Broth with Meat Strips is made in haste at a supper where there are more
people than expected. For ten bowls, take twenty strips of the cold meat
from dinner and from the leg of beef; and let the strips be small like
slices of bacon, and fry them in fat on the fire on the griddle. Item, have
the yolks of six eggs and a little white wine, and beat them together until
you are tired, then put with meat stock and old verjuice, not new, for it
will turn: and boil it all without the meat; and then arrange in the bowls,
and in each bowl two strips of meat. Some put the broth in the bowls, and on
a dish, before four people, five meat slices and some broth with them; and
this is for when there are more people and less meat.

Again, if you have cold beef, cut it very small, then grind a little bread
dampened with verjuice and put through a strainer; put on a dish with
powdered spices on top. Heat over the coals. It is enough for three people.
