Recipe Basic Beef Stock Amish Recipes

Place beef in a pan and roast in a preheated 400° F. oven for approximately 30 minutes until brown. Remove. Put the meat and bones in a stockpot with the other ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 1-2 hours. Cool. Skim the fat from the top and strain. Refrigerate, or freeze, for future use.
Variation:
To clarify the stock, whip 2 egg whites with dash of vinegar until frothy. Whip into the broth and slowly bring to a boil. When it reaches the boiling point, remove from heat and strain through double cheese cloth.
