Steak Paste

Submitted by busyozmum

"Another recipe from my Mother-in-law. This is a lovely old fashioned meat paste to spread on sandwiches. My husband and his oldest 2 sons absolutely loved this in days gone by. The recipe does not state what type of steak to use. I have made this several times with a cheaper cut and it just lovely. (Not sure of quantity this makes as I haven't made it for a long time. Also depends on the size jars you use. I will amend this when I make it again and can state how much it makes) Also note: Recipezaar wants to change the ingredient of "Anchovy sauce" to anchovies, sauce. This is actually a sauce that you can buy here in Australia."

My Mothers recipe was similar but had good teaspoon of mace no cayenne I will try cayenne pepper next time, would give more bite to it perhaps. I am in the country and find it hard to get anchovies sauce now. You can make your own. I found a British shop on the web in Sydney and they had the Geo Watkins Estb 1830 Anchovy Sauce which was available in Supermarkets here once.

I loved this, it had a great blend of flavour and really nice consistency. Because you'd mentioned that anchovy sauce no longer appears to be available I used Recipe#222332 which worked great.
