ANYONE FOR TEA ?

BEEF TEA ......

Slow , low heat method of cooking retains all the goodness of meat  in an easily digestible form .
You will need 250gm of finely sliced  rump, round or topside beef , all the fat must be removed . I find it easier to partially freeze the beef to slice .
Once thawed , place the thinly sliced beef into a heatproof  bowl with a healthy  pinch of salt and cover with 1 cup of cold water .
Add a few drops of lemon juice , cover and let stand for 1 hour .
Place the heatproof bowl with the beef mixture over a pot of JUST simmering water .
Stir the beef mixture over the low heat until the  meat changes colour and becomes hot , 5-10 minutes .
Press the meat during cooking to extract juices .
Strain the beef tea into a bowl and serve with hot buttered toast .
(The sliced beef can be frozen and added to a slow cooked beef dish later on.)
This is a nutritious meal especially for those convalescing or an easy to eat meal for young children .
