32. Potted Beef.
Take 1-lb. of second beefsteak and cut into small pieces, and cover with cold water and put in a pan and stew gently for about 1½ hours. Put through the mincing machine twice. Place in a basin and add as much of the gravy as is necessary to moisten slightly. Mix and beat thoroughly and put into pots, making the surface very smooth. Melt some butter and pour a little into each pot. Decorate when cold with a sprig of parsley.
