Beefsteak and Onions.
Steak for broiling.
1 pint of sliced onions.
1 level teaspoonful of salt.
3 tablespoonfuls of butter or drippings.
Pare and slice the onions. Put them in a stewpan with two quarts of boiling water and cook for fifteen minutes. Drain off all the water. Put the butter or drippings in a frying-pan and add the drained onions. Cover the frying-pan and place on the range. Cook for half an hour, being careful not to burn. Stir the onions frequently. Broil the steak rare and lay it on the bed of onions for five minutes, having the pan covered; then place the steak on a hot dish, and arrange the onions around it.
The onions need not be boiled, if a strong flavor be liked.
