salt, and mixed spices to taste; 1/2 pint of boiling water, 3
tablespoonfuls of gravy.
_Mode_.--Cut the beef into rather large pieces, and put them into a
stewpan with the onions, which must be sliced. Season well with pepper,
salt, and mixed spices, and pour over about 1/2 pint of boiling water,
and gravy in the above proportion (gravy saved from the meat answers the
purpose); let the whole stew very gently for about 2 hours, and serve
with pickled walnuts, gherkins, or capers, just warmed in the gravy.
_Time_.--2 hours. _Average cost_, exclusive of the meat, 4d.
_Seasonable_ at any time.
