Directions
Take 10 pounds of beef, tie it up perfectly round with strings and skewers; take a tablespoonful of butter and put it in a pot large enough to hold the beef, put the meat in it and let it come to a light brown; 1 bunch of carrots, 1/2 bunch of thyme; cut the carrots up into large quarters; 3 turnips cut into 4 quarters, 3 onions peeled and stuck full of cloves, 1/2 bunch each of parsley and celery tops; cover the meat in the pot with water, and put in all the vegetables; let them boil slowly 1 hour with salt and pepper; make the liquor as thick as gravy, then let it boil 1-1/2 hours longer; put in two medium-sized pickles sliced in four quarters; before dishing up put in wine-glass of wine; when ready to go to the table put the vegetables all around the dish, and send the sauce up in a sauce-bowl; if the meat should be tough let it boil 1 hour longer.
