Boiled Meats

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Scrape off the pulp from the beef with a silver knife, discarding the tough fiber.

  2. Mold the scraped beef into cakes about 1 inch thick.

  3. Heat a thick iron or steel pan until scorching hot.

  4. Sprinkle coarse sea salt in the pan to prevent sticking.

  5. Cook the beef cakes in the pan, turning with a knife or spoon to retain juices.

  6. Turn quickly at first, then reduce heat and finish cooking slowly.
