Ingredients 4 ingredients

  1. Beef
  2. Cut
  3. a tablespoonful of water
  4. Salt

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Take a tender, juicy piece of beef;
  2. cut into small pieces;
  3. put into a bottle with a little salt, and a tablespoonful of water: place the bottle in a pan of hot water, and let it boil three quarters of an hour.
