- Put it in a cool place and let it remain for three or four days in winter (a few days in the fridge)
- The night before it is to be cooked, squeeze the juice of a lemon over the beef, on the sides.
- Put the beef in a Dutch oven with some drippings after breakfast— let it be boiling hot before you put the beef in.
