Vert Strong Plain Beep Gravy Soup
Ingredients
Directions
Prepare the beef
Remove all skin and fat from the beef.
Chop the beef into small pieces, similar to sausage meat.
Make the broth
Place the chopped beef in a pot and cover with water.
Simmer gently for several hours until the beef is tender and the liquid is rich.
Strain the liquid to separate the beef juice from the solids.

What each ingredient does
- Beef
- Provides the meat flavour and the rich juices that give the soup its body.
The step that matters
Simmer gently. Gentle simmering extracts flavour and gelatin from the beef without toughening the meat. A hard boil makes the liquid cloudy and the meat stringy.
