INSTRUCTIONS

from the Keshy Yena Intercontinental Hotel, Curacao. In a skillet, cook
onion in the butter over moderate heat until golden. Add the steak,
tomatoes, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring, over mod-high heat, until
veggies are softened.  Add the egg, raisins, olives, gherkins, and
mushrooms and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the brandy,
heated, and ignite. Shake skillet gently until flame go out. Stir in flour
and cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Stir in broth, chili paste, chili sauce,
ketchup, Tabasco, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the mixture,
stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Line the sides of a 2-qt. shallow
casserole with some of the cheese slices. Pour the beef mixture into the
casserole, and cover it with the remaining Edam. Put the casserole in a
larger pan, add enough water to reach 1-inch up the sides of the casserole,
and cover the pan with foil. Bake in the middle of a preheated 325f oven
for 15 minutes. Serve with sauteed bananas. a 1963 Gourmet Mag. favorite
