At the beginning of the 19th century, Mrs Maria Rundell's best-selling book 'A New System of Domestic Cookery' was published. It contained a number of regional recipes including this one from Staffordshire. Ingredients:
4 braising steaks (approximately 4-6 oz. each) |
salt |
black pepper |
1/2 ounce plain flour |
1 ounce meat drippings or 1 ounce bacon drippings |
1 onion, peeled and sliced |
15 fluid ounces hearty beef stock |
1 -2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
Directions:
1. Flatten the steaks with a rolling pin, season with salt and pepper and dust with flour.
2. Melt the dripping in a frying pan and fry the onion until golden.
3. Add the steaks and brown on both sides.
4. Pour the stock into the pan, cover and simmer for 1 to 11/2 hours or until the steaks are tender.
5. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce.
6. Arrange the steaks, overlapping, on a heated serving dish and serve with the pan gravy poured over them, accompanied by creamed potatoes and a green vegetable.
