29. Minced Beef with Cucumbers.
Take a rump steak undressed, and with a
sharp
knife shred it very fine. Put it into a stew-pan
with a
little clarified butter and some salt; stir it
over a quick
fire for some minutes, then add half a pint of
beef
gravy; let it boil gently till it becomes of
a proper
thickness. Gut two large cucumbers in slices
the thick-
ness of a crown piece, and put them into a stew-pan
with
an onion sliced, some clarified butter, a little
vinegar, a
lump of sugar, and fry them of a bright brown
colour ; add
some plain sauce ; let simmer gently till sufficiently
done ;
then lay the mince in the dish, and proceed to
pour the
cucumber over it. You may, if you please, thicken
the
sauce with a little flour and butter ; and add
the squeeze
of a lemon just before serving.
