Beefsteak-Pie with Oysters

Seasoned sirloin oysters in gravy baked in a pie.

Cut six or seven thin slices out of a sirloin of beef, beat them and season with salt and pepper, flour them, and arrange in a pie-dish, surrounded by two dozen blanched oysters. Pour a little cold gravy on the bottom of the dish, and cover the pie with a good crust, baking lightly for an hour and a quarter.
