21 Beef Bouilli
Put the thick part of a Brisket of Beef into a Stewpan - nearly cover it with Water - put in some Turnips, Carrots, two or three heads of Celery, a bunch of sweet herbs, & a large Onion - let it stew eight hours, but be sure that it does not boil - Then take up the beef, lay it the fat side downwards, & take out the bones, let it lie on the same side till you put it into the Gray again. Strain off the Gravy, skimming off the fat, - pour it into the Stewpan with some Turnips & Carrots cut small, with a little drawn gravy, let it boil fast till reduced to the quantity that you want, then put in the beef & let it simmer an hour. Put a little of the Gravy into a small saucepan, & boil it till it grows thick & sticky - then take up the Beef - set it in a Dutch Oven before the fire, & with a feather strike it over very often with the thickened Gravy, till it is well glazed - It will take nearly an hour to glaze it - N.B. When you boil the Gravy for the glaze, put in as much Flour as will lie on a sixpence -
