I'm a terrible person and don't have a copy of the book handy, but...
You might look at this:

files/FOOD/M-Camp-Cookng-art.rtf+bukkenade+beef&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us
If you scroll down there's a 14th century Bukkenade recipe for any
meat you wish:

I suspect it's really intended to be seethed with good fresh beef
broth, but it does call for any meat you wish. "Diuersa Servicia" is
really MS D, ff. 86r-96v, a.k.a. Pegge's "Ancient Cookery".
Does that help?
