Minced Beef.
(Emincé de Bœuf.)
Put three quarters of a pint of brown sauce into a stewpan
with one large eschalot finely minced; boil these together till
the sauce has reduced to half the quantity, then mix with it
three quarters of a pound of lean beef (roast if possible) that
has been cut in little dice shapes; make it quite hot in the
bain marie, then dish on a hot dish and garnish round with
poached eggs that are sprinkled with a little chopped herbs,
or crisply fried potatoes or croutons, and serve.
