As published

This recipe was extracted from The Pattern cook-book (1890) by Butterick Publishing Company, page 63. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

BEEF ON TOAST. Finely chop the beef, which may be the ends of steaks or the remnants of a roast. Season with salt and pepper. For each pint of meat stir in a table-spoonful of flour, mixing thoroughly. Place the meat in a small stew-pan, and pour in enough milk to nearly cover. Simmer gently for ten minutes, and add a table-spoonful of butter. It is better not to use the fat of the beef when chopping it up, for the butter imparts a much better flavor to the whole. Toast six slices of bread
