Mock Duck
Ingredients
Directions
The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.
Prepare
Prepare a dressing similar to that used for ducks.
Spread the dressing over the flank steak.
Roll the steak tightly and secure it with string.
Bake and serve
Place the rolled steak in a platter with a little water.
Sprinkle with pepper and coarse sea salt.
Bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven until cooked through.
Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.

What each ingredient does
- Flank steak
- Forms the main body that is rolled around the dressing and cooked through.
- Dressing for ducks
- Adds moisture and savory flavor inside the rolled steak as it bakes.
The step that matters
Roll the steak tightly and secure it with string. A tight, even roll keeps the dressing inside and helps the steak cook at a uniform rate, so the outside is not overdone before the center is cooked through.
