Beefsteak with Mushrooms Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Beefsteak with Mushrooms Recipe, first before putting the steak on to broil, prepare the mushrooms. If canned, open and turn them out of the can; 1/2 a can will be sufficient for an ordinary-sized steak. Cut the mushrooms in two, and saute them in a tablespoonful of butter in a frying-pan. Add 1/2 cup of bouillon or clear stock and let them simmer for ten minutes. Not having the bouillon or stock at hand, use boiling water with half a teaspoonful of beef extract, well-seasoned with salt, paprika, and a teaspoonful of lemon juice.

Broil the steak over a clear fire, dish it on a hot platter, pour the mushrooms and gravy around it, cover, and let it stand in a hot oven not over three minutes, and serve.
