How is beef broth made

Scrape the roasted bones and vegetables into the pot along with any juices. Add more water if necessary to cover bones and vegetables. Cover the pot and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to a very low simmer and cook with lid slightly ajar, skimming foam and excess fat occasionally, for at least 8 but up to 24 hours on the stovetop.

Do not leave on stovetop unattended, simply cool and continue simmering the next day. The longer you simmer it, the better your broth will be. Add more water if necessary to ensure bones and vegetables are fully submerged.

Alternately, you can cook the broth in a slow cooker on low for the same amount of time. Remove the pot from the heat and let cool slightly. Strain broth using a fine-mesh sieve and discard bones and vegetables.

Let continue to cool until barely warm, then refrigerate in smaller containers overnight. Remove solidified fat from the top of the chilled broth. How would you rate Beef Bone Broth? Leave a Review. Enjoyable would say playing with your own taste is always.

I always make this in a slow cooker and cook for 24 hours or so. It is delish and you can feel how healthy it is when you drink or eat it. I use this as a base for pho and onion soup.

If you can wait the full 24 hours, it's worth it to do so. And as to the pepper.. I'm afraid reviewers suggesting otherwise used ground pepper or something.

Usually I just eyeball it and if I had to guess, I wind up with somewhere between 1 and 2T, you can't even tell there was pepper added in the final product. Pour the stock through the sieve to strain it of remaining solids.

Let cool to room temperature then chill in the refrigerator. Once the stock has chilled, any fat remaining will have risen to the top and solidified. The fat forms a protective layer against bacteria while the stock is in the refrigerator. If you plan to freeze the stock, however, remove and discard the fat, pour the stock into a jar or plastic container. You can also remove the fat, and boil the stock down, concentrating it so that it doesn't take as much storage space.

Leave an inch head room from the top of the stock to the top of the jar, so that as the stock freezes and expands, it will not break the container. Actively scan device characteristics for identification.
