_To stew a fillet of Beef in the Italian Fashion._
Take a young tender fillet of beef, and take away all the skins and
sinews clean from it, put to it some good white-wine (that is not
too sweet) in a bowl, wash it, and crush it well in the wine, then
strow upon it a little pepper, and a powder called _Tamara_ in
Italian, and as much salt as will season it, mingle them together
very well, and put to it as much white-wine as will cover it, lay a
trencher upon it to keep it down in a close pan with a weight on it,
and let it steep two nights and a day; then take it out and put it
into a pipkin with some good beef-broth, but put none of the pickle
to it, but only beef-broth, and that sweet, not salt; cover it
close, and set it on the embers, then put to it a few whole cloves
and mace, let it stew till it be enough, it will be very tender, and
of an excellent taste; serve it with the same broth as much as will
cover it.
To make this _Tamara_, take two ounces of coriander-seed, an ounce
of anniseed, an ounce of fennel-seed, two ounces of cloves, and an
ounce of cinamon; beat them into a gross powder, with a little
powder of winter-savory, and put them into a viol-glass to keep.
