SMOTHERED ROUND STEAK: Try out in a hot iron frying pan three thin slices
of fat salt pork, three by four inches, and add one onion peeled and cut
in thin slices. Cook, stirring constantly until brown. Wipe a two and
one-half pound slice of round steak, put in frying pan, pour over one and
one-half cupfuls of cold water and add about one-fourth teaspoonful of
salt. Bring quickly to the boiling point, cover closely, remove to back
of range, and let simmer slowly until tender. Remove steak to hot platter
and strain stock (there should be one cupful). Melt one tablespoonful of
butter, add two tablespoonfuls of flour, and stir until well blended;
then pour on gradually, while stirring constantly, the hot stock. Bring
to the boiling point, let boil two minutes, season with salt and pepper
and pour over and around steak. Garnish with Baked Stuffed Tomatoes
around the edge, and with overlapping slices of tomatoes and sprigs of
parsley in the center.
