Beef Sour
Ingredients
Directions
Cut the lean meat off the shank.
In a kettle, heat a little beef suet until browned.
Add the bones and cover with cold water.
Cover the kettle and cook slowly until the meat falls off the bones.
Strain the mixture through a colander and let it sit overnight to remove the fat.
