As part of an ongoing series, we are publishing one recipe every week from Pontiac County Recipes, a small book that is home to a collection of kitchen secrets from across the region, published by Pontiac Printshop in 1968.

This week, inspired by the gathering of Simmental and Angus cattle farmers hosted at Armohr Farm and Starborn Farms on Saturday that saw over 150 producers from across the province get aquainted with all that Pontiac beef producers are up to, we’re sharing two recipes that feature beef as their central ingredient. So find some local meat, and get cooking!  

Our rediscovery of this book last year has inspired us to recirculate its recipes, by way of this newspaper, through the communities from which they first came to us. 

If you recognize a recipe from either your grandparents’ kitchen, or from your own, please write to us. We would love to hear about how these recipes have lived on.
