• Take the bone from a large sirloin steak
• wash over the upper side with a beaten egg
• a teaspoonful of minced onion
• a pinch of grated lemon peel
• pepper and salt
• a beaten egg
• three tablespoonfuls of cream or milk
• a cupful of boiling water

Method

1. 1

   Flatten the steak with the side of a hatchet, spread thickly with a force-meat of crumbs, minced ham, and any other cold meat you may have.

2. 2

   Work these into a paste before spreading.

3. 3

   Roll the steak upon them, binding closely with soft pack-thread.

4. 4

   Cook the steak five minutes in dripping, turning as it browns.

5. 5

   Lay it in a dripping-pan with boiling water; cover and bake forty minutes, basting and turning often.
