What's the difference between beef tea* and beef broth?

*That is, made from scratch beef tea, not Bovril. :)

I'm not in or from the UK, but if my google-fu skills are serving me well, the difference seems to be mostly one of preparation.

Beef tea is made by steeping cut up lean beef in a small amount of water for several hours, at a relatively low temperature to make an extraction, and is meant to be drunk as is.

Beef broth is usually made with beef bones and vegetables, and is primarily used as a base for soups and stews.

Hope this helps answer your question.
