(Food Network - Alton Brown)


2 lbs. beef bottom round, trimmed of excess fat
2 t kosher salt

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup vegetable oil or bacon drippings
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 T tomatoe paste
1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes
1 t smoked paprika
1 t dried oregano
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups beef broth

Preheat over to 325 degrees.

Cut the meat with the grain into 1/2" thick slices and season on both sides with the salt and pepper. Place the flour into a pie pan. Dredge the pieces of meat on both sides in the flour mixture. Tenderize the meat using a needing device, until each slice is 1/4" thick. Dredge the slices on both sides once more and set aside.

Add enough of the bacon drippings or vegetable oil to cover the bottom of a 4 to 5 quart Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the steaks to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a plate and repeat until all of the steaks have been browned.

Remove the last steaks from the pot and add the onions, garlic and celery. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoe paste and stir to combine. Next add the tomatoes, paprika, oregano, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth and stir to combine. Return the meat to the pot, submerging it in the liquid. Cover the pot and place it in the oven on the middle rack. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is tender and falling apart.

Head Cheese(#1 - 6 - 8 lbs)
(Mom)


1 hog's head
salt and pepper
1 hog's tongue
sage or chili powder

Clean and scrape hog's head and wash thoroughly. Wash and trim tongue. Cover head and tongue with slightly salted water and simmer until meat falls from the bone.

Drain meat and season. Pack tightly in bowl, cover and weight it down. Let stand 3 days in a cold place. Slice.

(I used my crockpot to cook the head and tongue in. The tongue has a thick skin on it which peels off when tender. Think I put some bay leaves and onions, celry and ground pepper in when cooking. Also I used some pickle juice in it. That's the way I remember my Mom making it. This is the one I've tried)

Head Cheese(#2)
(Mom)


4 lbs pork from head or shoulder
8 lbs side pork
salt
pepper
ground cloves

Boil pork until extremely tender, the fat and lean in separate kettles. (Some veal may be used) A layer of fat will come to surface, which should be skimmed off. While meat is hot, spread a large piece of muslin in a shallow pan, then use the cooked rind of the pork to hold the head cheese by placing the rind side next to the muslin, fitting pieces together to cover the bottom. On this, place alternating pieces of fat pork and lean pork, seasoning each layer with salt, pepper and ground cloves. Cover top and sides with cooked rind, tie up tightly in muslin. Reheat in liquid, then remove the "cheese" and press in a flat dish under a weight. Chill, keeping weighted. Slice when cold. Should be about 2" thick. Keep in brine and in cool place.
