Ingredients
- gravy beef
- water
Instructions
- Cut gravy beef into small pieces and place in a jar. Set the jar in a saucepan of cold water and bring to a gentle boil. Maintain a gentle boil for seven or eight hours, adding more water from time to time as the original quantity evaporates. The resulting gravy will be the essence of the meat.
- Note: For stronger soups and gravy, cut the meat and draw the gravy before adding water.
