Marinade for Beef

Pour into a stewpan equal quantites of water and vinegar, the quantity depending upon the size of the sirloin to be marinaded, add a few sliced onions and carrots, salt, peppercorns, and a clove of garlic. Place the pan on the fire, boil until all the goodness is extracted from the vegetables, then strain and let it get cold. The meat should be left for fully twenty-four hours to soak.
