SWISS STEAK
- 1½ lbs. round steak
- 1 carrot
- 1 small turnip
- 1 onion
- 1 tomato
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper
- Some flour
- ½ pint (1 cup) boiling water
- 2 tablespoonfuls dripping or butter
The steak should be cut two inches thick. Pound into it, using a steak shredder, as much flour as it will hold.
Melt the butter in a casserole, and when it is hot brown the steak in it, turning it over.
Add the onion, carrot, turnip, and tomato sliced and fry them for a few minutes, then add the bay leaf and seasoning of salt and pepper. Pour in the boiling water, put on the cover, and simmer for two hours.
