~STEAK~--Cut the steak half an inch thick from between the two ribs,
remove all gristle and fat, and trim in the shape of a flat pear.
Sprinkle both sides with salt, pepper and oil to prevent outside
hardening. Broil ten minutes over a moderate and even fire. Place about
four ounces of maitre d'hotel butter on a dish. Lay the steak upon it
and garnish with fried potatoes, serving either piquant, D'Italian, or
tomato sauce.


~STEWED SAUSAGE WITH CABBAGE~--Procure a medium sized white cabbage,
remove all the green leaves, and cut it into quarters, removing the

put in cold water and cool moderately. Drain in a colander and put in a
saucepan with one gill of fat from soup stock or one ounce of butter.
Season with a pinch of salt and one-half pinch of pepper, a medium sized
onion and a carrot cut into small quarters. Put on the cover of the
saucepan, set on a moderate fire and cook for half an hour. Take twelve
sausages, prick them with a fork, add them to the cabbage and allow all
to cook together for twelve minutes. Dress the cabbage on a hot dish and
arrange the sausages and carrot on top. Serve very hot.
