Beef Broth

 
 
Ingredients -
 
4 pounds cracked Beef Marrow, Shin, and/or Shank Bones, with meat on them
1 large Onion, cut into eighths
4 ripe Plum Tomatoes, cut in half (optional)
1 Carrot, cut up
2 Celery stalks, cut up
1 Leek, split lengthwise, washed well, cut up
10 Black Peppercorns
Bouquet Garni, tied together in cheesecloth, consisting of 3 sprigs Fresh Parsley, 1 sprig Fresh Thyme, 2 Fresh Sage Leaves, and 1 Bay Leaf
4 quarts Water
Salt and Fresh Ground Black Pepper, to taste
 
Preparation:

Put all the ingredients, except the salt and pepper, in a stock pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Skim the surface of foam until no more appears. Partially cover and simmer on a very low heat for no less than 6 hours.

Pour the broth through a cone-shaped strainer and discard all the bones, meat, vegetables, and bouquet garni. Now pour the broth through the strainer lined with cheesecloth. Season with salt and pepper.

To de-fat the broth, let it rest in a refrigerator until the fat congeals on the top and can be lifted off. The broth can be frozen for up to 6 months.
