Cut raw Beef in thin Slices, as you would do Veal, for _Scots_ Collups; lay
them in a Dish, with a little Water, a Glass of Wine, a Shallot, some
Pepper and Salt, and a little sweet Marjoram powdered; then clap another
Dish over that, having first put a thin slice or two of fat Bacon among
your Collups: then set your Mess, so as to rest upon the backs of two
Chairs, and take six Sheets of whited-brown Paper, and tear it in long
Pieces; and then lighting one of them, hold it under the Dish, till it
burns out, then light another, and so another till all your Paper is burnt;
and then your Stew will be enough, and full of Gravey. Some will put in a
little Mushroom Gravey, with the Water, and the other Ingredients, which is
yet a very good way.
