MEATS
FRIED PORK STEAK
To 1 pound of steak take 1 large tablespoonful of butter, and half as much lard; put it in the frying pan and heat; score the steak until perfectly tender; have 2 eggs beaten well, into which drop the steak, then roll it in cracker crumbs and then put it into the hot butter which has been slightly browned; fry about 20 minutes, or until it is a crispy brown on both sides; keep the pan covered, season with salt, pepper, and a pinch or two of finely-ground sage. Take the steak out before making the gravy. For the gravy put about 3 tablespoonfuls of flour into the pan, stirring until it is slightly brown, then add 2 cups of boiling water, and 1 cup of rich sweet cream ; season to taste.
