Stewed Brisket of Beef Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Stewed Brisket of Beef Recipe, first take about 7 pounds of nicely trimmed brisket. Any bone should be taken out; get it without if possible. Put it into a stewpan with water or stock to cover, a layer of bacon under, and over a few cloves, whole allspice, a bunch of sweet herbs, 2 small onions, 2 carrots, and salt and pepper at discretion. Simmer in a tightly covered stewpan from four to four and a half hours; then strain off the liquid (there will not be much), reduce it to a glaze, keeping out a little for sauce. Glaze the meat, and send up the sauce thickened round it. Garnish with carrot cut into slices, and glazed onions, which must be cooked apart from the meat.
