Ingredients
  1. Beef
  2. Salt water
Directions
  • The general rules are
    • to have a brisk hot fire,
    • to hang down rather than to spit,
    • to baste with salt water,
    • and one quarter of an hour to every pound of beef, though tender beef will require less, while old tough beef will require more roasting
  • Pricking with a fork will determine you whether done or not; rare done is the healthiest and the taste of this age.
