BEEF SERVED WITH MACARONI

Nutritious and Appetizing Dish That May Be Prepared at Comparatively Small Cost. Two pounds of shank (or any preferred cut). Have saucepan verjfc hot, fry out a piece of fat or grease bottom with butter, cut up meat and place In pan, allowing to fry until seared on every side. Salt and pepper, dredge with flour, pour on boiling water to Just cover meat, cover closely and simmer slowly until nearly done. Do not add more water unless there Is danger of going dry for you only Avant enough for gravy and not a steA\ r . Twenty minutes before serving pare potatoes and add whole with small pieces of onions. At the same time put macaroni to cook in rapidly, boiling AA’ater and allow to boil 15 minutes, stirring often with a fork so as not to break, then drain and add to meat. Cook all together until potatoes are done; take out thick part on deep platter, thicken gravy with tablespoonful of flour dissolved \vith little cold water, beat very smooth, then pour contents in platter and serve very hot. Dumplings can be added, but we never eat them. We like it made of round steak, but cheaper cuts are just as good, and really it i£ a delicious dish. —Boston Globe.
