Beefsteak Pie. — Take a pie-dish ac- cording to the size required ; 2 lbs. of fresh rump steak cut into long, thin strips will make a good pie; lay out the strips with a small piece of fat on each, a seasoning of salt and pepper, and a dust of flour ; two teaspoonfuls of salt and one teaspoonful of pepper will be sufficient for the whole pie ; roll up each strip neatly and lay it in the dish, and between each layer sprinkle a little of the seasoning and flour ; a shred onion or shallot is sometimes liked, and a few oysters will be a great im- provement; put an edging of paste round the dish, and pour in water enough to cover the rolls of meat, and lay a crust of about half an inch thick
