DAY FOR FATHER Hail to th chef, the chief, the big
wheel, the man of the house who brings home the bacon
every day deserves a sizzling steak on hi very own day.
Ways with steaks and otfer father-favorites are included in
today's food columns.
Feeding She Family
By SOLA VINCIKT
P4 Mir
We Prepare to Pamper
Give a man a steak he can
carve! Any poll would reveal
steak, preferably charcoal
broiled, as first choice for
Father's Day feasting. Never
forget that the man of the
house and immediate environs
is to be approved and praised
no matter what he does. Sur
est way to lose friends and
alienate people is to tell a
man how to cook in his own
backyard.
Charcoal broiled outdoors
or oven-broiled indoors, the
steak must be at least an inch
thick; the thicker the better,
The steak de luxe is two to
three inches thick, charcoaled
or browned almost black on
the outside, tender and pink
inside, served sliced with the
grain.
There are six favored cuts
of steak for, broiling from
which to choose. They are
beef tenderloin, T-bone, club
steak, 3one!ess loin tstrip
steak), pin - bone sirloin,
wedge-bone sirloin. A porter
house is a T-bone steak with
a large portion of tenderloin.
Other less tender but
equally good cuts of beef for
broiling are chuck (or shoul
der), rib, rump, and top round
steak. However, these must be
top quality and aged; are
better cut one-half to three
inch thick and pan broiled or
braised. These cuts often are
used for outdoors broiling or
barbecuing where the long
slow cooking makes them ten
der. And let's not underestimate
the fine flavor and same high
protein values to be found
chopped sirloin or ground
round.
Reminders. Figure on one
third to three-quarter pound
bone -in steak per serving;
one-third too one-half pound
boneless steak per serving.
Broiled steak should be serv
ed very hot as soon as broiled.
Keep the guests waiting if
necessary, but never 'the
steak. Slash the fat edge so
steak won't curl in broil
ing. Super de Luxe Steaks
Gift of the Gods! Tear this
out and paste it in the chef's
hat but don't mention it un
less he seems interested. More
good chefs are spoiled by
kibitzers! We will only say
quietly that past masters in
the art of broiling conducted
exhaustive experiments, say
this is the last word.
Steak de luxe is from two
to three inches thick, char
coaled on the outside, pink
on the inside. Marinade in
any favored mixture or leave
plain. Allow at least one-half
pound per serving.
If very thick steaks are out
of the question, have your
steak at least one inch thick.
Gill a one inch thick steak
over glowing coals about five
minutes on each side if you
want it rare; six minutes on
each side for medium -done
and seven minutes on each
side for well-done.
Two inch steak, charcoal
broiled, takes much longer.
Figure 16 minutes on each
side for rare, 18 minutes for
medium-done and 20 minutes
for well-done. The thicker,
the longer.
Heat the broiling oven and
the broiling pan too. Then rub
the broiler rack with a little
trimmed - off fat to prevent
meat from sticking. Lay
steaks on'rack in broiler pan
and adjust the pan so top of
steak is two to four inches
from heat source, dependent
on steak thickness.
Do not season surface ex
posed to heat. Broil on one
side to desired doneness, sea
son with salt and pepper,
turn by inserting fork into
fat or turn with tongs. v
Broiler Timing. One inch
steaks take five minutes on
each side for rare, six minutes
for medium rare, and seven
to eight minutes" on each
side for well-done. One and
one - half inchers tke nine
minutes per side for rare, 10
minutes- for medium and 12
minutes for well-done. Two
inchers take 16 minutes per
side for rare, 18 minutes for
medium and 20 minutes for
well-done.
One inch high hamburgers
require 8 minutes on each
side for medium, 10 minutes
for well-done.
Ground Beef Memo. Fresh
ground beef may be made
into patties as soon as it is
purchased. Place patties on
waxed paper. Cover. Or if
ground beef is not to be used
as patties, wrap mound of
meat in waxed paper. Keep
in refrigerator. Use within
two days.
Steak Seasonings
Many and Varied
. Here again, the chef is
master of all he surveys. Not
a whisper of anything but
praise when you go visiting,
no matter what he does; not
if you want to be invited
back. Here are pointers for
amateurs.
Seasoned Butter. Whip one-
fourth cup 'butter until soft.
Add two tablespoons chopped
parsley, green onions, chives
or one tablespoon paprika,
catsup or chili powder.
Spread on hot steak.
Garlic. Before broiling,
brush steak with salad oil
which has been flavored with
garlic. One or two cloves of
peeled, sliced garlic in oil for
two to three hours; or sprin
kle with garlic juice or gar
lic salt.
Garlic Butter. Mash 'one
clove of garlic. Blend with
one-furth cup butter; spread
on hot steak.
Roquefort. Roquefort,
Langlois or bleu cheese is
mashed and spread lightly
over steak during last few
minutes of broiling. '
Lemon Juice. Mix well one-
quarter cup butter, juice of
one lemon, one tablespoon
chopped chives; spread over
hot steak.
Mushrooms. Brown mush
rooms in butter or drain can
of broiled - in - butter mush
rooms, salt lightly and serve
hot over broiled steak.
Worcestershire Sauce. Mix
one tablespoon Worcester
shire sauce with one-quarter
cup butter; spread over hot
steak.Q , ,
Bottled Steak Sauces. There
are excellent bottled steak
sauces on grocers' shelves,
These may be served to allow
individual seasoning or you
can make a sauce by combin
ing a tablespoon or so of
sauce with one-quarter cup
butter for spreading on hot
steak.
Steak Seasoning Salts.
There are several good blend
ed seasonings on grocers'
shelves or you may make
your own by combining two
tablespoons salt, two table
spoons paprika, one teaspoon
freshly ground black pepper,
one teaspoon onion salt, one
teaspoon garlic salt; blend
thoroughly, put in a shaker
and use in place of other
seasoning except butter.
Season Your Own. This is
sure-fire success with every
one. A tray of seasonings
available for guests to pour
or sprinkle their own. These
might include bowls or pit
chers of several of the fore

Increasing Readiness .
The highly automated com

seen at aircraft and missile
bases, gave a picture of in
creasing readiness to deal
counterblows on short notice.
Throughout the Kaiserlaut

Palatinate, big Matador guid

launchers with crews stand

and across the border in
France, 15 squadrons of F

From the cavernous re
cesses of the underground
operations center, command
ers could dispatch these, sup

guided missiles from their
widely dispersed bases on 10
to 15 minutes warning of at

could be on their way to Iron

powerful factor in the effort

cannot be struck.
