Beef stock #2
1 Servings
Ingredients
Quantity | Ingredient | |
---|---|---|
4 | pounds | Beef or veal bones |
3 | quarts | Water |
1 | medium | Onion; coarsely chopped |
3 | larges | Carrots; chopped |
6 | Sprigs fresh parsley | |
1 | teaspoon | Whole peppercorns |
4 | Cloves garlic; halved | |
1 | Bay leaf | |
2 | Whole cloves | |
1 | teaspoon | Thyme |
½ | teaspoon | Celery seeds |
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place bones in a roasting pan and bake for 30 minutes, turning once. Discard accumulated fat.
Transfer bones and remaining ingredients to a large stockpot. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, at least 4 hours. Frequently skim the froth off the top.
Using a colander, strain stock. To defat stock, refrigerate until fat hardens on the surface, then remove and discard. The stock may gel during refrigeration; this is natural. Makes 2 quarts.
