Serves:

Ingredients

2 lbs beef bones
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
4 cloves of garlic
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon salt
8 cups water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place beef bones on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes.
In a large pot, add the roasted beef bones, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, salt, and water.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 4 hours, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.
After 4 hours, strain the stock through a fine mesh sieve, discarding the solids.
Allow the stock to cool, then refrigerate overnight. Remove any solidified fat from the surface before using.
Use the beef stock as a base for soups, stews, and sauces.
