The only real difference is that Grandma would dredge the steaks in flour before frying. She would also add stewed tomatoes sometimes. I made it one time with jalapenos and tomato paste on top. Spicy good!
I think I need to try the Staffordshire variety. Probably in about a month since I had a barbecue splurge today for lunch. I have to be careful about these things for my health's sake.
Thanks for sharing the recipe, Andrew. I might even buy the book.
