Ingredients

  • 8 oz beef chuck steak cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 3 cups water filtered
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan, place the beef and pour the water. Season with salt. Bring it to a boil. Keep it on high heat for a couple of minutes. 
  • Lower the heat to a low and let it barely simmer for 20 minutes. Take a large spoon or a skimmer spoon and scoop out the scum from the top. The scum can be collected in a bowl and discarded later. 
  • Put the heat off and let it cool. Transfer the beef and liquid into a pot or jar with a lid. Let the beef steep in the liquid for at least 24 hours. 
  • Strain the liquid through cheesecloth or a fine-mesh strainer. Discard the beef and enjoy the tea. You can choose to season it with pepper and herbs. Beef tea is best served hot.
