Steak Stew Recipe

Stewed steak recipe.

Two pounds of rump steak, one pint of oysters, one table-spoon of lemon juice, three of butter, one of flour, salt, pepper, one cup of water. Wash the oysters in the water and drain into a stew pan. Put this liquor on to heat. As soon as it comes to a boil, skim and set back. Put the butter in a frying pan, and when hot, put in a steak. Cook ten minutes. Take up the steak, and stir the flour into the butter remaining in the pan. Stir until a dark brown. Add the oyster liquor and boil one minute. Season with salt and pepper. Put back the steak, cover the pan, and simmer ½ an hour or until the steak seems tender, then add the oysters and lemon juice. Boil one minute. Serve your stewed steak on a hot dish with points of toast for a garnish.
