List of Ingredients
Cold roast beef
Butter
Sliced onions
Potatoes
Milk
Salt, pepper
Flour
Tomato sauceRecipe
From a cold roast beef, or any other leftover roast, chop enough pieces to fill your baking dish half full.
Put the chopped beef into a stewpan with a lump of butter, some sliced onion, and seasoning of salt and pepper.
Now add water to make plenty of gravy. Thicken it with a teaspoonful of flour. Cover the pan and let the ingredients stew slowly.
Meanwhile, boil enough potatoes to fill up the rest of the baking dish, after the stewed meat has been transferred to it.
The potatoes must be boiled done - mashed smooth and beaten up with milk, butter and seasoning - just as if they were being served alone.
Just before the dish is placed into the oven, brush a slightly beaten egg over the top of the potatoes. Let it remain in the oven long enough to brown. Make sure there is enough gravy left with the beef, so the dish will not become dry and tasteless.
Serve with tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, or any other sauce you like.
