Broiled Rib Steak

Cut the steak about half an inch thick from between the two ribs, remove all the gristle and fat, trim to a flat pear-shape, and sprinkle both sides with pepper and salt and oil to prevent outside hardening; broil twelve minutes over a moderate and even fire. Place about four ounces of maitre d'hotel butter on a dish, lay the steak upon it and garnish with fried potatoes, serving either piquant, Italian or tomato sauce with the steak.
