MONKEY GLAND STEAK
I previously posted stuff about South Africa's monkey gland sauce. It's also a steak. I haven't inspected OED's monkey glands.
From the NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE, "Dining Around Scotland" by Isabel A. McGovern (the pinch hitter when Clementine Paddleford is away--ed.), 20 April 1963, pg. 9, col. 5:
Don't be startled by monkey gland steak, it's really like a steak Diane.

From THIS WEEK magazine, 21 April 1963, pg. 16, col. 2:
