The Beef

• 2 pounds very lean beef, preferably top sirloin
• 2 cups fresh or canned beef broth

• To prepare the beef, put it in a large saucepan or small kettle. Add the broth, water, and the whole garlic. Bring to the boil and let simmer 2 hours, or until quite tender. Drain but reserve about ¼ cup of the cooking liquid. Shred the meat. If the meat is not tender enough, chop
