Does your recipe actually say 2lbs. of beef base? That sounds like an awful lot of it!

Do not use this recipe. I used 1 pound of the beef base and the result was corrosive brown liquid that had to be watered by about half and it was still strong. Whoever put this claptrap out works on commission for the company that makes the beef base. That person did not do the company any favours.
