Pork Chops.

1-1/2 pounds of pork steak.

1-1/2 teaspoonfuls of salt.

1/4 teaspoonful of pepper.

1/2 pint of strained tomatoes.

1 tablespoonful of flour.

Season the chops with one teaspoonful of the salt and half the pepper. Put them in a hot frying-pan and cook them rather slowly for twenty minutes. Take up the chops and stir the flour into the fat remaining in the pan. When the mixture is smooth and frothy, add the strained tomatoes and simmer for five minutes. Season with the remainder of the salt and pepper. Arrange the chops on a warm dish and pour the sauce around them.

If a plain brown sauce be preferred, substitute cold water for the tomatoes.
