Beefsteak with Onions. — Select a cut of one and a half inch in thick- ness and weighing about 3 lbs. from a rump of beef. Lay the steak over the meat-board, and with the rolling- pin beat it on each side for one minute ; this will make the meat more tender. Season each side with one levelled tea- spoonful of salt and one salt-spoonful of black pepper. Put in a skillet two large table-spoonfuls of butter, and when hot, not brown, put in the steak. Cook fifteen minutes on each side, not fast, uncovered. Be careful when turning the meat not to prick it, in order to retain all the juice. Prepare beforehand one pint of large red onions. Peel them, and cook whole twenty minutes in plenty of boiling water seasoned with salt. Drain them well, and slice quite fine and evenly. Remove the steak in a platter; keep warm in the oven, with door open. Put the sliced onions in the saucepan with the gravy of the steak. Spread them and cook them to a golden color. Bake two bunches of medium-sized red beets as you do potatoes. Peel and slice them; add to the onions just long enough to warm them through. Spread over one teaspoonful of salt, one salt-spoonful of black pepper, one and a half table - spoonfuls of wine vinega
