Ernie Stautner's Beef Barbecue
German born Ernie Stautner starred as a defensive tackle with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and was one of the athletes featured in The All-Star Athletes Cook Book. His recipe is reproduced here as an example of what may have been considered a meal fit for an athlete 50 years ago. The book contains recipes presented by most of the famous, and many not so famous, athletes of the 1960s from all sports - baseball to car racing, football to golf, and everything in between.
