This recipe was extracted from Six little cooks (1910) by Elizabeth Stansbury Kirkland, page 31. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.
OLD FASHIONED BEEF TEA. One pound (or more) of lean beef — (not one scrap of fat must be admitted) — cut into small pieces and put into a tightly-covered jar, without water. Set the jar into a pot of cold water, let this come gradually to a boil and then boil steadily for three or four hours, until the meat is like white rags. Then press the juice out, and season with salt, and, if permitted, a little pepper
Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
