How To Boil Beef Recipe

Put the beef into your three or four gallon pot, three parts filled with

cold water, and set it on the fire to boil; remove all the scum that

rises to the surface, and then let it boil gently on the hob; when the

meat has boiled an hour and is about half done, add the parsnips in a

net, and at the end of another half hour put in the cabbages, also in a

net. A piece of beef weighing five or six pounds will require about two

hours' gentle boiling to cook it thoroughly. The dumplings may, of

course, be boiled with the beef, etc. I may here observe that the

dumplings and vegetables, with a small quantity of the meat, would be

all-sufficient for the children's meal.
