Beef Olives

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds of beef, cut very thin
• salt
• pepper
• 3 tablespoonfuls of powdered cracker
• 1 teaspoonful of sage and savory, mixed
• 1/4 teaspoonful of pepper
• 2 teaspoonfuls of salt
• 1/4 pound of pork
• 1 tablespoonful of flour

Instructions

Trim off the edges and fat from the beef; then cut in strips three inches wide and four long; season well with salt and pepper. Chop fine the trimmings and the fat. Add powdered cracker, sage and savory, pepper and salt. Mix very thoroughly and spread on the strips of beef. Roll them up, and tie with twine. When all are done, roll in flour. Fry brown the pork. Take it out of the pan, and put the olives in. Fry brown, and put in a small sauce-pan that can be tightly covered. In the fat remaining in the pan put flour, and stir until perfectly smooth and brown; then pour in, gradually, nearly a pint and a half of boiling water. Stir for two or three minutes, season to taste with salt and pepper, and pour over the olives. Cover the sauce-pan, and let simmer two hours. Take up at the end of this time and cut the strings with a sharp knife. Place the olives in a row on a dish, and pour the gravy over them.
