Method

  1. Chops or Steaks*.—(No.
  2. 94.) To Stew them, see (No.
  3. 500),—ditto with Onions, (No.
  4. 501.) Those who are nice about Steaks, never attempt to have them, except in weather which permits the meat to he hung till it is tender —and give the Butcher some ApoE notice of their wish for them.
  5. The best Steaks are those cut from the middle of a Rump, that has been killed at least four days in moderate weather, — much longer in cold weather — when they can be cut about six inches long, four inches wide, and half an inch thick—do not beat them, unless you suspect they will not be tender.
  6. Take care to have a very clear brisk fire, throw a little salt on it, make the Gridiron hot, and set it slanting, to prevent the fat from dropping into the fire, and making a smoke.
  7. It requires more practice and care than is generally supposed to do Steaks to a nicety ;
  8. and for want of these little attentions, this very common dish, which every body is supposed capable of dressing, seldom comes to table in perfection.
  9. Ask those you Cook for, if they like it under, or thoroughly done;
  10. and what accompaniments they like best;
  11. —it is usual to put a tablespoonful of Catsup The season for these is from the 29th of September to the 25th of March: to ensure their peing tender when out of season, STEW THEM as in Receipt (No.
  12. 500.
  13. )
