  2. three-quarters pint water
  3. Tea
  4. One pound lean beef

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

  • 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. One pound lean beef, three-quarters pint water, pinch or salt.
  2. Scrape the meat very finely, removing all fat and skin, put into an enamelled saucepan with the water and salt, stir over a very gentle heat till it simmers, taking care it does not boil, simmer fifteen minutes and most of the goodness will be extracted.
  3. Strain through a coarse hair sieve, and remove the fat with kitchen paper.
