YALE BOAT PIE (an American recipe)

Lay in a middling-sized dish three or four pounds of steak from the under-cut of a round of beef, having seasoned it with pepper and salt. Have at hand a couple of chickens, cut into pieces and seasoned; place them on the steak, and over them one dozen and a half of fresh fat oysters without the liquor. Add half a dozen fresh hard-boiled eggs, and after damping the bottom of the dish with half a pint of strong ale, cover the whole with fresh mushrooms, adding to these half a pound of glaze or plain neat's-foot jelly; lay over the dish a substantial paste, and bake in a brisk oven. This pie is excellent for a picnic or water excursion.
