"Beef tea" is a flavorful broth made from simmering beef bones and meat in water for several hours. It has long been used as a health tonic and is also increasingly being used to boost the flavor of soups, stews, and other dishes. Beef tea has a number of nutrients that can be beneficial for health, including protein, iron, zinc, phosphorus, and vitamins B12 and A. Additionally, it is a good source of collagen, a protein that is important for joint health, skin health, and gut health. If you are looking for a tasty and nutritious way to improve your overall well-being, then beef tea is a great option.

BEEF TEA
Steps:
- 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.
- 2. Pour the liquid and the pieces of beef into the jar or container, cover it tightly, and let the liquid steep (like tea, of course) in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.
- 3. Strain the liquid either through cheesecloth or a fine-mesh strainer and discard the beef. You'll be left with the tea. Serve hot.
TEA-SMOKED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH PEAR SALAD
A fantastic show stopper! The flavours are incredible and the dish is easier to put together than it reads. I actually cannot take much credit as it is one of my husband's signature dishes. He prepares the beef on the BBQ in a large stock pot; I am the sous chef on this one preparing the salad ;). You can prepare the salad in advance as well as the dressing. Add as much of the fresh herbs as you like. From the local paper. Great recipe if you are trying to reduce carbs. Recipe calories are lower than listed (only 500 per serving) as rice and brown sugar are not consumed but just used for the smoking

Steps:
- 1. Mix together the mayonnaise, mustard and horseradish thoroughly. Spread thinly onto party rye.
- 2. Top bread with baby spinach leaves.
- 3. cut roast beef in half, vertically down the center so that you have 24 slices. Fold slice in half and place one on top of the spinach on each tea sandwich. Serve
Tips for Making Beef Tea:
- Choose the Right Cut of Beef: Opt for a cut of beef with plenty of connective tissue, such as chuck roast or oxtail. This will impart a rich flavor and body to the tea.
- Roast the Bones: Before simmering the beef bones, roast them in the oven at a high temperature (450°F) for 30-45 minutes. This caramelizes the bones and adds a deeper flavor to the tea.
- Use a Variety of Vegetables: Add a variety of vegetables to the pot along with the beef bones. This will enhance the flavor and nutritional value of the tea. Good choices include carrots, celery, onions, and leeks.
- Simmer for a Long Time: Beef tea needs to simmer for a long time, at least 8 hours, to extract all the flavor from the bones and vegetables. The longer you simmer it, the more flavorful the tea will be.
- Strain and Season: Once the tea is done simmering, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the bones and vegetables. Season the tea with salt and pepper to taste.
Conclusion:
Beef tea is a nutritious and flavorful beverage that can be enjoyed hot or cold. It is a great way to use up leftover beef bones and vegetables, and it is also a convenient way to get a boost of protein and minerals. Whether you are looking for a healthy drink to sip on or a flavorful base for soups and stews, beef tea is a versatile and delicious option.
