BEEF FRICO (Charles X.'s favourite dish)

Beat and lard a juicy, tender steak of two pounds; lay it into a close-fitting covered stewpan, with equal quantities of water and vinegar. Add a little vegetable, particularly onion, and stew gently for two hours, but do not allow it to burn or stick to the pan. When cold cut the meat into strips, smear it with beaten egg, and strew over bread-crumbs well-seasoned with pepper, shallot, and salt. Fry till it is of a light brown colour, which will be in about ten minutes. Probable cost, 3s. Sufficient for four or five persons.
