(from Miss Leslie's Complete Cookery, by Eliza Leslie, 1838)

Ingredients:

4 lbs. sirloin steaks​

black pepper​

salt​

4 tbsp. butter​

1 quart mushrooms​

flour for dredging mushrooms​

Instructions:

Take four pounds of the best sirloin steaks, cut thin. Season them with black pepper, and a very little salt. Put four table-spoonfuls of butter into a frying-pan, and set it over the fire. When it is quite hot, put in the steaks and let them brown. Have ready a quart of mushrooms, stemmed and skinned, and moistened with a pint of water, seasoned with a little pepper and salt, and thickened slightly with a good dredging of flour. Pour it over the steaks in the frying-pan, and then let them cook till thoroughly done.​
