Beef broth

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Beef chuck
  • 13.3 oz Beef short ribs
  • 13.3 oz Beef bones
  • 1 Celery
  • 2 Carrot
  • 3.3 oz yellow onion
  • 16 3/4 cup Water
  • 2 Cloves
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste black pepper
  • 2 Bay Leaf
  • 1 Parsley
  • to taste Juniper berries

Instructions

  1. 1

    To prepare the beef broth, wash and peel the celery and carrot, then cut the vegetables into large chunks. Cut the onion in half. Heat a non-stick pan and place the onion on it.

  2. 2

    Sauté for a few minutes without adding any fat. In a large pot, pour in the meat, the bones, the carrot and the celery.

  3. 3

    Also add the sautéed onion, the bay leaves and the parsley.

  4. 4

    Complete with the cloves, juniper berries, peppercorns and a pinch of salt. Cover with water and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 3 hours. During this time, you will need to skim the broth, i.e. remove the fat and impurities that will settle on the surface with a skimmer.

  5. 5

    At the end of cooking, the broth will be less liquid and more concentrated. All that remains is to filter the broth to separate the liquid from the meat, vegetables and spices (the latter can be discarded as they are now withered). To filter it, you can use a sieve covered with a light and clean cloth. Pour the broth back into the pot and adjust the salt. At this point, your beef broth is ready to be used in your preparations!

Ago's Notes

  • Adjust the salt according to the salt content of the preserves.

Enjoy your meal, your broth will be an explosion of aromas and flavors that will make every dish an authentic experience. Let each ingredient, from the beef to the celery, come together in harmony to celebrate the simplicity and mastery of traditional cuisine.
