HAMBURG STEAK EN CASSEROLE

Heat the butter in an earthenware dish, add the onion, fry it until brown, then add the flour, stir well together, add gradually the water or stock, and simmer for ten minutes.

Add the Hamburg steak and cook slowly for half an hour; baste it occasionally. Season with the salt, pepper, and chopped parsley, and place on top just before serving a few nicely fried bread croûtons.
