Best Beef Stock Recipe

Best Beef Stock

From ravenseyes 17 years ago

This is the old fashioned way of making Beef stock - one my grandmother taught me - its worth the extra time and effort

6 lbs of 6" long beef bones shopping list
Ask your butcher - short bones work as well some meat left on the bone is fine some even like using the oxtail bone - any is really ok shopping list
12 cups of water shopping list
1 tsp kosher or sea salt shopping list
fresh ground pepper shopping list
2 bay leaves shopping list
3 sprigs thyme (fresh) shopping list

Pre heat your oven to 425 degrees, in a large pan at least 1 inch deep - place your beef bones - bake for 3 hrs at 425. Remove and cool.
Place in a large stock pot and cover with 12 cups of water. Add salt, pepper, thyme and bay leaves - slow cook for 3 hours. Remove bones and herbs.
You should be left with a nice dark rich color beef stock - this can be sealed in jars or frozen for later use. The heartier the stock the better the soup.
