Hamburg Steak

Ingredients

pepper
salt

Directions

Grind lean beef, season with grated onion, pepper and salt. Make into small mounds an inch thick, put in hot spider, turn several times. Add a little butter, and when done make gravy by adding a little water and cook until thick. Nice with Creole sauce.
Planking means to cook food on a plank, in the overi or in front of the fire.
Planks are made especially for this purpose, about 2 inches thick ; oak planks are considered the best. It is best to cook in the lower oven of a gas stove when using the plank. Fish is delicious, also chicken, and steak cooked in this way. Never wash the plank with soap and water ; use a little soda and if necessary, sand paper.
