Rump Of Beef To Bake Recipe

Bone a rump of beef; beat it thoroughly with a rolling-pin, till it is

very tender; cut off the sinew, and lard it with large pieces of bacon;

roll your larding seasoning first--of pepper, salt, and cloves. Lard

athwart the meat that it may cut handsomely; then season the meat all

over with pepper and salt, and a little brown sugar. Tie it neatly up

with packthread across and across, put the top undermost, and place it

in an earthen pan. Take all the bones that came out of it, and put them

in round and round the beef, so that it cannot stir; then put in half a

pound of butter, two bay-leaves, two shalots, and all sorts of seasoning

herbs, chopped fine. Cover the top of the pot with coarse paste; put it

in a slow oven; let it stand eight hours; take it out, and serve it in

the dish in which it is to go to table, with its own juice, and some

have additional broth or gravy ready to add to it if it is too dry.
