Rump Steak, Baked, with Onions

Take about two pounds of well-hung tender steak, and fry it in hot fat till it is lightly and equally browned. Take it up, put it in an earthenware dish which has a closely-fitting lid, and pour over it a pint of stock made from bones. Add two moderate-sized onions which have been boiled till tender, two table-spoonfuls of Harvey's sauce or walnut ketchup, two cloves, and a little salt and cayenne. Cover the dish, and bake the steak gently till done enough. Take it up, lay round it an onion, sliced, divided into rings, and fried; and strain over it the gravy in the baking-dish. Serve very hot. Time to bake, two hours. Probable cost, about 3s. 8d. Sufficient for four or five persons.
