A Russian Dish

A small fillet from a piece of beef, ¼ lb. minced bacon

From 1922:

A small fillet from a piece of beef, ¼ lb. minced bacon, ¼ lb. mashed potato, a little chopped parsley, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and salt, 1 beaten yolk of an egg, breadcrumbs, boiling olive oil, 1 clove of garlic. Cut out a small fillet from a piece of beef, lay it flat on a dish, and on it place a little bacon, then a layer of potato, another layer of bacon, then potato; sprinkle a little lemon juice over the whole, and on each layer sprinkle a little cayenne pepper and salt. Roll it up, and tie. Dip it in the yolk of the egg, and then roll in equal quantities of breadcrumbs and parsley. Roast, basting continually with boiling olive oil, in which has been boiled a clove of garlic. Before serving cut it into slices to save cutting on the table.
