(from Housekeeping in Old Virginia, by Marion Cabell Tyree, 1878)
Ingredients:
1 round of fresh beef
1 loaf of bread
thyme
parsley
1 onion
marrow from the bone
1/2 pound suet
pepper
salt
cloves and nutmeg to the taste
3 eggs
slices of bacon
butter
1 pint of water
1 teacup Port wine
use vegetable flowers and egg whites to dress
Instructions:
Take, from a round of fresh beef, the bone ; beat the meat all over slightly to make tender. Grate a loaf of bread, mix with it equal quantities of:
Thyme and parsley, rubbed fine.
1 onion.
The marrow from the bone.
1/2 pound suet.
Pepper and salt
cloves and nutmeg to the taste.
Mix these ingredients with three eggs well beaten : fill the place from whence came the bone, and what is left rub all over the round : fasten well with a tape, tied round to keep in shape. Cover the pan with slices of bacon, lay the beef upon them, baste with butter : pour in the pan a pint of water. Cover closely and stew gently for six hours ; when thoroughly done, take out the beef, skim the fat from the gravy, strain into a saucepan, set it on the stove and stir into it one teacup Port wine. Let it come to a boil and send to the table in a sauce tureen. You may, for supper, dish cold : dress with vegetable flowers, whites of eggs boiled hard and chopped fine. - Mrs. J. W. S.
I am not sure what "tape" would be used to fasten it.
