To Boil Beef
Ingredients
Directions
If the beef is very salty, soak it in cold water.
If it is slightly corned, place it in boiling water.
Cook the beef very slowly until tender but not ragged.
Ensure the meat retains its juices for better flavor.
Avoid using poor quality corned beef as it contains bone and gristle.
