Recipes and Stories by Elizabeth David

  • Sussex Stewed Steak

    This is one of the excellent old English dishes in which mushroom ketchup and ale or stout make a rich-looking and interesting gravy. Creamy mashed potatoes and perhaps a few friedor grilled mushrooms—if you can get large flat ones—go well with this casserole of steak. The whole dish takes scarcely five minutes to prepare for cooking.
