The Oregon Beef Council In

with Information on
beef They have provided us
with a prochure entitled.
"Beef and your Microwave."
I'd like to pass on some
recipes to you from that bro
chure, and beef cooking in
formation Cooking beef in a micro
wave oven can In- done with
confidence and enthusiasm.
Because beef is basic to so
many meals. It is important to
understand the principles and
tested methods of cooking it in
a microwave.
Defrosting in a microwave
allows you to defrost beef
quickly, neatly and without
flavor loss. Follow directions
in the oven manual and be
sure to defrost slowly so the
inside of the meat thaws be
fore the outside begins to cook.
Always allow for standing
time between the end of the
thawing cycle and the begin
ning of the cooking cycle.
Microwave ovens are great
for reheating leftover beef;
(hr is no moisture loss or
reheated flavor.
Use your microwave to cook
ground beef quickly for use in
recipes. It can be cooked in
many shapes and forms such
as meatballs, casseroles,
meat loaves, patties, sauces
and sandwiches.
Next time you barbecue,
partially cook extra beef steak
or patties, then freeze. When
ready to serve, unwrap beef
and defrost in the microwave.
Allow standing time, then
cook quickly, just until done.
The beef will taste like it was
just barbecued.
The colder beef and other
recipe Ingredients are, and the
"more food there Is in the
microwave, the longer the
cooking time.
Most successful roasts for
microwave cooking are bone

stale finals In second place in
steer wrestling (he was the
state winner last year) Just
less, uniform in shape and
tender. Suggested cuts are rib
eye. top round, tip, or rump
(rolled and tied).
To cook, place roast on a
microwave rack (or on two
inverted saucers) in a rec
tangular microwave dish.
Then roast over halfway
through cooking time.
Generally a rare to medium
degree of doneness produces
the most popular result. De
gree of doneness should al
ways bo determined by a
microwave thermometer, a
conventional thermometer
used outside the oven, or a
microwave food probe. Con
sult your oven manual for best
rooking time and oven setting.
Temperature is more accur
ate than time in determining
doneness.
Browning occurs naturally
after 12 minutes of cooking
time. For additional brown
ing, baste with soy sauce or
Worcestershire sauce or a
browning sauce.
Alwavs allow a minimum
standing time of 10 minutes
outside the oven; internal
temperature of roast in
creases 10 15 degrees during
standing time. Wrap the roast
in foil for standing time.
