Time 13h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 ½ pounds beef bones, such as oxtail, short rib, knuckle, and shank
2 stalks celery, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 large onion, cut into 8 pieces
1 medium leek - roots trimmed off, cleaned, and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 whole head garlic, halved crosswise
12 cups water, or as needed
2 bay leaves, or more to taste
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Place beef bones on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast bones in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, turning over at the halfway point.
  • Carefully place bones into a large stockpot and pour in any juices that have collected on the baking sheet. Add celery, onion, leek, and garlic to the stockpot, and add just enough water to completely cover the bones. Stir in bay leaves, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  • Bring broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a very low simmer and cover, venting the lid a bit. Simmer for 12 hours, occasionally skimming off any foam and "gunk" that rises to the top. Add additional water whenever bones and vegetables are no longer covered.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and cool broth to room temperature. Strain broth with a fine-mesh strainer into a clean pot. Discard bones and vegetables.

HOMEMADE BEEF STOCK



Homemade Beef Stock image

Homemade beef stock lends rich complexity to our French Onion Soup recipe. Make it the day ahead-you'll have plenty left over to freeze and use in recipes for hearty stews and spicy chilis.

Provided by Greg Lofts

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Yield Makes about 3 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 pounds mixed beef bones, such as marrow, neck, and oxtail
1 pound beef chuck (or other stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces)
3 carrots, peeled
1 large onion, skin on, halved
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
2 celery stalks, plus a handful of inner leaves
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 thyme sprigs
6 parsley sprigs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. In a roasting pan, combine beef bones, stew meat, carrots, and onion. Drizzle with oil, tossing to evenly coat, and spread in a single layer. Roast, turning everything once halfway through, until meat is browned on all sides, about 45 minutes.
  • Transfer bones, meat, and vegetables to a stockpot. Place roasting pan over two burners, add 1/2 cup water, and bring to a boil, scraping browned bits from bottom; transfer mixture to stockpot. Add enough water to pot to cover meat and vegetables by about 2 inches (5 to 6 quarts). Bring to a boil, skimming foam and impurities from surface.
  • Add celery stalks and leaves, peppercorns, thyme, and parsley sprigs. Reduce heat to medium-low and gently simmer, uncovered, until mixture is darkened and reduced slightly, and bones have released their marrow, 8 to 12 hours.
  • Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve (line it with cheesecloth for clearest possible stock). Let stand until fat rises to surface, then skim it from stock with a spoon. Freeze fat to use in place of oil or schmaltz in savory dishes. Stock can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 week, or frozen up to 6 months.
