Instructions

  1. Put the beef on the fire in a little broth or gravy with a little fried onion, pepper, salt, and a spoonful of ketchup or any other sauce you have at hand. Let it simmer for about ten minutes.
  2. Mix flour with a little of the gravy to form a paste, then pour it into the stewpan to thicken the rest of the gravy.
  3. Serve with sippets of toast. A little port wine, a pinch of saffron, or a piece of chorisa may be considered great improvements.
