Historical transcription

Source method

  1. 1

    Chop three pounds of lean beef fine and leave in a quart of cold water for two hours. Set water and beef over a slow fire in a covered saucepan and simmer four hours. Set away all night with the meat in it. In the morning remove every bit of grease, and strain through coarse muslin, pressing hard. Season with pepper and salt.

Nutrition pending

No invented nutrition numbers.

WorkLife will publish nutrition and scalable serving quantities only after this historical transcription receives a measured modern adaptation.
