Beef Steaks in the French manner.
BROIL some beef steaks till they are half done; while they are doing, have ready in a stew-pan some red wine, a spoonful or two of gravy; season it with salt, pepper, some shalots; then take the steaks, and cut in squares, and put in the sauce: put some vinegar, cover it close, and let it simmer on a slow fire half an hour.
