Deviled Beef Toss
The Picnic Gourmet
Joan Hemingway and Connie Maricich

Mustard-Horseradish Dressing
½ Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dry mustard
¼ tsp. white pepper
dash paprika
1 Tbsp. horseradish
½ tsp. grated onion
2/3 cup olive oil
¼ cup white wine vinegar

Deviled Beef Toss
1 head of romaine, washed, dried and torn in pieces
½ small head iceberg lettuce, washed, dried and torn in bite-size pieces
1 ½ cups cooked rare roast beef strips
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ medium onion, peeled, sliced and separated into rings
1 1 or 2 oz. can rolled anchovy filets, drained on paper towels

In a bowl combine all the ingredients for the dressing except the oil and vinegar. Beat the mixture with an electric beater while slowly adding the oil and vinegar alternately. Put in a container to travel.

Put the pieces of lettuce in a plastic bag. Sprinkle a little water over them before closing. Chill until ready to pack. Toss the beef strips, tomatoes, onion rings and anchovies lightly together in a bowl and chill before packing in a plastic container.

Take the dressing separately. Arrange the meat and vegetables over the greens on a platter or in a bowl at the picnic. Spoon dressing over all.

One is meant to serve this in some scenic spot in Colorado or perhaps Montana or Idaho.
