To use, simply dissolve one or more cubes in boiling water according to the desired intensity of flavor. The standard ratio is one cube per cup of hot water. This liquid can then be used as a base for soups, stews, and sauces, or added to cooking water for grains like rice or quinoa to infuse them with beefy flavor. You can also crumble a cube directly into dishes like stir-fries or casseroles for a concentrated burst of taste.
