They’re a great-tasting, high-quality way to get creative with your cooking and enhance everything from soups to grilling.

Initially, I embraced bouillon, but when I got older I dismissed it as a culinary cheat: artificial and inferior. It’s not uncommon on a cold matchday to see hundreds of soccer fans sipping on a warm cup of the bovine-based elixir as they cheer their team on from the stands. Simply spoon a dollop of the thick meaty gunge out of its recognizably squat jar and into a cup of hot water, stir, and you end up with a cup of delicious beef tea. Upon seeing these images on Instagram my immediate thought was, “Hmmm wonder if they’re drinking Bovril.

Like snake oil or Coca-Cola, Bovril was one of those Victorian products that were advertised as having many uses. Cornstarch is pure starch, so it thickens very quickly and doesn't require extra boiling to reduce the gravy.

More than a little on your food and your gunna chug your drink lol I cant wait to use this method with other meats this was a great recipe thanks so much.

Since my roasting pan is HUGE, all the water I put in the pan plus any juices from the ham evaporated out, how disappointing!
