Step 1

Mix ground beef with onion, green pepper, garlic and parsley. Add salt, pepper, paprika and thyme. Mix well. Divide into quarters and shape each portion into a round, thick patty. Place on cookie sheet covered with a sheet of foil or on broiler rack. Dust both sides of patties with flour; brush with oil. Broil about 3 inches from source of heat for 4 to 8 min. per side depending on doneness desired. While steaks broil, prepare Belmont Sauce. Arrange steaks on heated platter and pour sauce over. Serve immediately, garnished with watercress and crab apple. BELMONT SAUCE: Melt 3 tbsp. butter or margarine in saucepan. Blend in 1/3 c. tomato catsup, 1 tbsp. lemon juice, 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce, 2 drops of liquid hot pepper, 1 tsp. Dijon mustard, ¼ tsp. salt, a dash of pepper and a dash of nutmeg or mace. Heat to a simmer. Add 2 tbsp. dry sherry and heat to boiling. Stir 1 min. Serve sauce, hot, over broiled steaks.
