Think of beef ham as a really thin minute steak. Cook beef ham in a smoking hot frying pan with a thin smear of oil. Throw the meat onto the surface of the hot pan and then add salt. Cook for about thirty seconds on one side and then turn. One to two minutes maximum and it is done.

You could pile hot beef ham into a sandwich with plenty of onion sliced gherkin and mayo; perhaps mustard or horseradish. Serve it with fried eggs or a plate of hand-cut home-fried chips. You could remove it from the pan toss in a handful of mushrooms with a good pinch of paprika and add a generous glug of cream. Swirl around put the meat back in and you have a very simple very impromptu Stroganoff.
