Rib of Beef, en papillotes, (in paper.)
Cut a rib of beef neatly, and stew it with some broth and a little pepper and salt. When the meat is done enough, reduce[95] the sauce till it sticks to the rib, and then steep the rib in butter, with parsley, scallions, shalots, and mushrooms, shred fine, and a little basil in powder. Wrap the rib, together with its seasoning, in a sheet of white paper, folding the paper round in the form of a curling paper or papillote; grease the outside, and lay it upon the gridiron, on another sheet of greased paper, over a slow fire. When it is done, serve it in the paper.
