    Recipe Introduction


    This is a recipe used by hunters on safari in preparing zebra, eland, antelope, or other game. The technique is good and gives us a new way to prepare our favorite food-beef steak.

    Buy 4 Ibs. STEAK (fillet, rump, or sirloin) cut into 1/2-lb. steaks each 1/2 inch thick and dry each steak completely with paper towels.
    In an electric skillet or 10- to 12-inch skillet:
    Heat: 2 Tbs. OIL and
    2 oz. BUTTER, to the smoking point.
    Fry steaks in pan a few at a time according to size of skillet for about 3 minutes on each side, adding fat as required.
    Season each steak with salt and coarse-ground pepper and set aside in a warmer.
    Lower heat and add: 1 cup DRY RED WINE
    1 cup SWEET (dessert) WINE.
    Stir with the meat residues in the pan.
    Add 2 cloves GARLIC, finely minced.
    Cook for 2 minutes.
    Add: 4 Tbs. TOMATO PASTE thinned with
    4 Tbs. WATER.
    Cook until sauce is quite thick.
    In a 2-quart saucepan:
    Combine: 3 cups MASHED POTATOES and
    2 cups MASHED YAMS or SWEET POTATOES and beat thoroughly.
    Correct the Seasoning
    Spread a bed of potatoes on a large platter.
    Arrange the steaks on the potatoes.
    Pour the sauce over the steaks.
    Sprinkle with CHOPPED PARSLEY.
