This recipe for beef broth is more flavourful than store-bought and very easy to make. It is a very simple process and well worth the time spent cooking. The prepared broth can be used as a base for soups and stews. The broth can also be cooled and stored in a freezer container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator.
Ingredients
Directions
1. Place beef bones/oxtail pieces with chunks of vegetables (such as carrots, onions and celery) in lightly oiled Dutch oven or stockpot. On stove top, brown over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
2. Season as desired and add enough cold water to cover bones/oxtail pieces by 2 inches (5 cm). Bring to boil.
3. Simmer, covered, for 3 to 5 hours until meat is fork-tender. Strain, reserving stock; chill and skim off surface fat. Meanwhile, remove meat from bones, cut into bite-sized pieces and reserve; discard vegetables, fat and bones. Add reserved meat to stock and use for beef soups or stews.
