Salt and Pepper (Half an ounce of Butter)

Half an ounce of Butter.

Half an ounce of Flour.

Half a pint of Stock or Water.

Cut off the fat and skin from the steak. Melt the butter in a stewpan, and fry the steak a nice brown on both sides; add the flour and brown it; then add the vegetables, cut up into small pieces. Pour stock in with the steak, and stir till it boils, then draw the stewpan off the fire, and let it simmer gently for quite an hour.

Shred some carrot and turnip, and boil separately.

Take the fat of the steak, cut it into nice pieces, and cook it in the oven. When the steak is cooked, put it on a hot dish, season the gravy with pepper and salt, and strain it over the meat; place the pieces of fat on the meat, and garnish with the shredded vegetables.
