Ingredients
- four onions
Directions
Take thick beefsteak, (that which is not so tender will answer,) cut it in pieces ready to serve; put into a spider with a little hot water; slice up three or four onions, and stew very slowly several hours. Let the water boil out and the meat become brown, then stir flour into the fat which has come from the meat. If there is too much, take some out and pour on boiling water, and stir till the flour is cooked. Pour the meat and gravy into a deep dish or platter, and serve.
Bay leaves, which can be obtained at the druggists, are a good substitute for those who do not like onions, but the leaves should be taken out before sending to the table. ^
