This double-concentrated beef stock is potent, with a lot of body. Roast the beef bones and vegetables first for a deep base flavor.

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds assorted beef bones, such as knucklebones and shanks
  • 2 large white onions, 1 cut into large chunks, 1 diced
  • <

Method

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Transfer the browned bones and vegetables to a large stockpot, leaving the caramelized cooking juices
