Beef Tea

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the beef into very small cubes, about ¼ inch.

  2. Place the beef in a bowl or jar and add enough cold water to just cover the meat.

  3. Let it sit in a cool place until the water turns red and the meat becomes pale.

  4. Move the bowl to a warm spot, like the back of the stove or over a pot of boiling water, and keep it there until the beef juices are fully extracted.

  5. Heat the mixture for a minute or two to remove the raw flavor, but do not boil.

  6. Add salt to taste.
