Ingredients This recipe for charcoal- grilled steak is from an old Betty Crocker Cook Book. Select 1- to 2-inch-thick steaks. For each person al- low 1 pound of any steak with a bone, such as sirloin, porterhouse, club or T-bone; allow pound of boneless cuts, such as tenderloin or New York. How to do it Trim excess fat from edge of steak; slash remain- ing fat at 2-inch intervals to prevent curling. Place steak on grill 4 inches from hot coals; cook 4 to 5 minutes on each side for 1-inch thick steak as rare, medium 7 to 8 minutes. Season steak with salt and pepper after turning and after moving from grill. Now days we also prefer some garlic powder or gran- ules with the salt and pep- per. The pictured New York steaks were grilled in but- ter, since this wasn't a char- coal grill at the buyers' din- ner. CATTLEWOMEN'SCORNER Charcoal-grilledsteak COURTESYPHOTO The Tehama District Fair Jr. Livestock Auction Committee hosted a buyers dinner with 220pounds of New York steak being grilled by the auction committee. Ken Johnston, educator, historian and author, will offer a free talk about his findings in his new book, "Legendary Truths, Peter Lassen and His Gold Rush Trail in Fact and Fiction," at the Red Bluff Commu- nity and Senior Center, 1500 S. Jackson St. at 7 p.m. Thursday. Many trail-weary em- igrants and some highly regarded historians have denounced Lassen and his achievements over the years. Johnston believes that much of the criticism of Lassen and his "hor- rendous" Lassen Trail has been undeserved. He be- lieves that many disgrun- tled emigrants were scape- goating Lassen when the main problem was that they were too late on the trail. Another finding in John- ston's book is that most of Lassen's financial prob- lems were because he was too generous and trusting. His trust in accepting Gen- eral John Wilson and Joel Palmer as partners, for ex- ample, eventually cost him the loss of half of his ran- cho. Wilson was a Missouri lawyer and probably one of those who General Ma- rio Vallejo had in mind when he wrote, "...these legal thieves, clothed in the robes of the law, took from us our lands and our houses without the least scruple..." Vallejo mentioned "Mis- souri and other states" as the source of the "swollen torrent of shysters." In emphasizing Las- sen's generosity and hon- esty, Johnston quotes the Red Bluff Beacon, October 27, 1858, "Whoever shakes the hand of Peter Lassen, shakes the hand of an hon- est man." He also quotes San Francisco's The Alta California after Lassen's death in 1859: "The poor, sick and unfortunate, who formed so large a part of the immigration of that year, found in the worthy old Dane, a warm-hearted and true friend... it may be easily imagined that a man possessed of so gen- erous a heart would soon- est become a victim to the wiles of speculators..." Johnston recently com- pleted a 17,000-mile tour around the country with his wife on his motorcycle, giving talks and visiting relatives. One highlight was his talk at the Mu- seum of Danish America at Elk Horn, Iowa, where Las- sen is recognized as proba- bly the most famous Dane in America — Lassen Vol- canic National Park, Peak, National Forest, County, College, Trail, Creek, et al. Another highlight was being featured on Authors Night at the convention of the Oregon-California Trails Association in Ke- arney, Nebraska. Johnston's presentation at the Community Cen- ter is sponsored by the Te- hama County Genealogical and Historical Society.
