Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a moderate oven”. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. In a baking dish, combine the steak cubes and brown sauce.

  3. Cover and bake for 3 hours.

  4. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough on top of the meat.

  5. Bake until the crust is done.

  6. Serve with an additional cup of brown sauce.

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.
