Here in the States we use a can of Campbell’s beef consume. I feel it’s far superior to bouillon, better beef taste. Less amount of lemon makes it perfect!
I really love a good bull shot, so I thought I would try this recipe. I find the lemon far too pronounced for me, like beefy lemonade. Most recipes call for somewhere between a dash and 1/4 oz of lemon juice; perhaps this is the original? That said, tastes do vary.
The acidic elements nicely balance the richness of the stock. The pepper and hot sauce give a little kick too.
I can't say this has become a house favourite, but it's interesting and not disgusting!
