Manzo alla Certosina (Fillet of Beef)

Ingredients:
Fillet of beef or rump steak, bacon, olive oil, salt, nutmeg,
anchovies, herbs, stock, garlic.

Put a piece of very tender rump steak or fillet of beef into a stewpan
with two slices of fat bacon and three teaspoonsful of the finest olive
oil; season with salt and a tiny pinch of nutmeg; let it cook uncovered,
and turn the meat over occasionally.

When it is nicely browned add an anchovy minced and mixed with
chopped herbs, and a small clove of garlic with one cut across it. Leave
the garlic in for five minutes only.

Then cover the whole with good stock, put the cover on the stewpan,
and when it is all sufficiently cooked, skim the grease off the sauce,
pass it through a sieve, and pour it over the beef.
