Beef Tea
A nourishing and savory broth made by slowly simmering beef cubes in water. This traditional restorative drink produces a clear, flavorful tea-like beef broth.
Ingredients
- •8 ounces beef chuck steak, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- •¼ teaspoon salt
- •3 cups water
Cooking Instructions

1. Combine the beef, salt, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Let the mixture boil for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low and let the water barely simmer for 20 minutes more, skimming off any scum that forms on the surface. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool.
