Beef Steak. Time—20 minutes.
Heat the gridiron, put in the steak, turn the gridiron four times at intervals of 2 minutes, then eight times at intervals of 1 minute. Sprinkle with pepper and salt, and serve on a hot plate.
Chops are done in the same way, turning the gridiron twice at intervals of 2 minutes, and six times at intervals of 1 minute.
To make steak tender: beat it well, and rub into it a small pinch of carbonate of soda.
