How to cook deliciously - Potted Beef
1. Stage
Simmer beef in 1/4 inch of water in a heavy medium saucepan. Stew until very tender, replacing water as necessary, about 2 to 3 hours. Drain, reserving the liquid.
2. Stage
Pass cooked stew meat through a meat grinder twice, until it is the consistency of a thick, stringy paste.
3. Stage
Melt butter in a small saucepan. Filter melted butter through clean muslin (cheesecloth) to remove milk solids.
4. Stage
Mix cooked meat with 3/4 of the strained, melted butter in a medium bowl. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and nutmeg to taste. Stir in desired amount of reserved cooking liquid to moisten.
5. Stage
Transfer the mixture to sterile containers and top with remaining butter. Seal and chill in the refrigerator until serving.
