Miroton de Bœuf.—Cut an onion into thin slices and fry this in plenty of butter or clarified beef dripping till it begins to colour, then dust in a little flour, add a wineglassful of white wine, half a pint of stock, pepper and salt to taste, and a teaspoonful of French mustard. When this has all simmered together for a few minutes, lay in some slices of underdone beef (or mutton if liked), cut into neat, even, perfectly wedge-shaped pieces, and keep the whole at the side of the stove till the meat is thoroughly hot, but without allowing it to cook again.
