Historical transcription

Source method

  1. 1

    Select a piece of lean beef, wipe well with a cloth wrung out of cold water; remove all pieces of fat and gash with a sharp knife. Put the meat into a stone crock, sprinkle with salt and pepper and put in a few cloves. Cover with a tight lid. Cook in an oven slowly for several hours allowing no steam to escape. When done the meat will be very tender.

Nutrition pending

No invented nutrition numbers.

WorkLife will publish nutrition and scalable serving quantities only after this historical transcription receives a measured modern adaptation.
