Beef Tea

Beef Tea
(makes two cups)

1. One pound top round steak
2. 2 cups of cold water
3. Salt to taste

Cut the meat into small 1/2 inch cubes and let stand in the cold water for two hours.
Bring to a boil and then turn the heat down to a low simmer for two hours.
Season now with the salt.
Serve in a cup with bits of meat.

This is from an awesome book. The Margaret Rudkin Pepperidge Farm Cookbook 1965 edition.

I think a little bit of fresh cilantro in the cup would be a great addition.
