6 or more lbs. raw beef

2 tablespoons salt

1 tablespoon pepper

3 cups minced onion

6 bunches celery 2 cups drippings 1 cup potato flour 4 teaspoons salt

Chop round steak or any beef quite fine, add seasonings; shape in balls about an inch and a half in diameter, saute in hot frying pans until well browned on all sides.

Wash celery, cut in inch pieces; add four quarts boiling water, cook an hour, or until tender. Melt drippings, add flour, and three quarts celery water, stirring all the time. Boil five minutes, add celery and beef balls; simmer fifteen minutes. If sauce is too thick, add more water. It should be thick enough to serve on plates.
