Ingredients

1	each	shallots	or small onion cut into small pieces
1	x	black pepper	freshly ground to taste
1	pinch	mace
1	pound	sirloin steak	or over 1 pound at least 1 1/4 inch thick

Directions

Mix together the shallot or onion with the pepper and mace.

Insert a few shallot pieces into the steak using the point of a small knife.

Coat the steak with the shallot mixture, pressing it in so it will adhere.

Remove the loose shallot pieces and grill the steak (over a fire of oak logs, says August Goerg, from which the bark has been removed).

* Take the steaks off the grill while they are still pink inside.

Sprinkle them with salt.

*Note: A special grill is used, suspended with 3 chains from an iron tripod and constantly swinging through the flames.

Beef Stroganoff I

I loved this stroganoff dish. It had just the right balance of flavors. I used 1 1/2lbs ground sirloin instead of the meat called for. It came out great!!!
