  1. Stuff your beef with three cloves of garlic in different parts, make a hole with a skewer, and get in the garlick as far as about one half your finger can reach.
  2. Stuff it likewise in several places with forcemeat, in the making of which put some fat bacon cut in very small slices.
  3. Put your beef into the pot the right side under.
  4. Put about a pound of suet over it, five or six ounces of bacon sliced, and as much water as will cover it.
  5. Set the pot over the fire, let it boil for three quarters of an hour.
  6. Cover the pot quite close, and let it stew for four hours over a moderate fire.
  7. Take it up, and pour every drop of liquor from it, and put a quart of claret over it.
  8. Set it on a very slow fire while you are preparing the sauce, which is to be either of turnips, or carrots, or palates, cut as for a ragoo.
  9. Put in as much broth as you think sufficient, with some of the clear gravy free from fat that you poured off the beef, in a stew-pan.
  10. Boil them a little with morels, truffles, and a glass of claret, and a little butter rolled in flour, which must be tossed up together.
  11. Dish it up very hot.
