Prepare
Cut the meat into very small pieces, as fine as minced meat.

Steep and serve
Stir frequently with an egg beater for 3 to 4 hours.
Strain through a coarse sieve and drink the liquid cold, about ⅓ to ⅔ cup three times a day.

What each ingredient does
- Best gravy meat or rump steak
- Provides the soluble proteins and flavour that pass into the cold water as the meat is steeped.
The step that matters
Cutting the meat very finely. Small pieces expose more surface area, so more juice and flavour can leave the muscle fibres and reach the cold water during steeping.
