Planked Hamburger Steak

·   Planked

        Oil a heated plank, place cooked steak on plank, and arrange border of Duchess or sliced, deep- fried potatoes around it. Arrange other cooked vegetables, such as peas, string beans, cubes of carrot or yellow turnip, around steak also, so that the board is entirely concealed. Place the plank in the oven until the potato border is browned and all the vegetables are heated through. After removing it from the oven finish steak with butter and sprinkle with minced parsley, salt and paprika. Serve on the plank. Often a cast iron sizzler is used with the plank.
