Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cut slices of raw beef and put them in a stew pan with a little water, some catsup, a clove of garlic, pepper and salt. Stew until the meat is done.
  2. Thicken the gravy by rubbing a lump of butter into brown flour and stirring it in.
  3. Note: A hash may also be made from any kind of cooked meat, though it will not be as good. For cooked meat, prepare a gravy separately, season it well, and keep the hash over the fire for only a few minutes to heat it through.
