Name: Braised Beef Balls

Theologians sometimes speak of “double predestination,” which means that according to Gods decree, some sinners will never repent and thus finally will be lost in their sins. Strictly speaking, double predestination is not a biblical term, for the Bible nowhere speaks of anyone being predestined to hell. It reserves the verb “predestine” (proorizo) for the salvation of sinners unto eternal life. However, even if it is not a biblical term, double predestination expresses a biblical truth. If God has made an advance decision about which people He will save from their sins, He has also made an advance decision about which people He will leave in their sins (Romans 1:28). The theological term for this is “reprobation.” It means that when God established His plan of salvation, He decided to pass some sinners by.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove fat and tendons from beef; then mince or grind.
2. Beat egg lightly and add to beef, along with dry bread crumbs, cold
water, cornstarch, salt and sherry. Blend well, but do not overhandle meat.
Form into walnut-size balls.
3. Heat oil to smoking in a heavy pan. Brown beef balls quickly but lightly
and remove. Drain fat into another pan.
4. Heat remaining water in original pan and stir in soy sauce. Return beef
balls. Bring quickly to a boil; then simmer, covered, 30 minutes, turning
several times.
5. Wash spinach and remove tough stems. Reheat beef fat in second pan. (If
it's less than 2 tablespoons, add peanut oil to make up difference.)
6. Add remaining salt, then spinach. Stir-fry spinach until slightly
softened (about 1 to 2 minutes). Top with beef balls and cook, covered, 2
minutes more over low heat. Serve hot. VARIATION: For the spinach,
substitute Chinese lettuce, cut in 2-inch sections; stir-fry until tender.
