How and Why You Should Make it Today
Delicious, restorative and nourishing, Bone Broth is everywhere these days- and understandably so!
This highly nutritious stock is commonly used in soups, sauces, and gravies. It has also recently gained popularity as a health drink.
Bone broth is essentially the same thing as beef stock: bones in water that are simmered low and slow with or without vegetables.
It’s restorative, said to help with digestion, joint health and a myriad of other health benefits. It’s also said to create radiant looking skin.
No wonder everyone’s trying it!
enjoy a warm cup of bone broth as an evening beverage and do away with making a complex soup.
But you could throw in some broken spaghetti noodles, a few meaty bits from the bones and a handful of spinach or kale and make it modern ‘Cup-a-Soup”
Making bone broth is really very simple.
There are many recipes online, but most people don’t even use a recipe. All you really need is a large pot, water, vinegar, and bones. I love my Instant Pot for this!
Our limousin Beef bones are the best for making broth as they are naturally very lean.
They make for a flavourful broth that tastes clean and not greasy.
To get you started, here’s an easy recipe you can follow
INGREDIENTS
3 pounds MurrayHill’s Limo beef bones
1 medium onion, halved and unpeeled
1 garlic head, halved crosswise
1 celery stalk cut into 2-inch pieces (optional)
2 bay leaves
2 tsp black peppercorns
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
Roasting soup bones in the oven first gives hearty beef flavor to this basic beef stock. In addition to soups, use the beefy broth to provide extra flavor in stews, gravies, sauces and vegetable dishes. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen
Preheat oven to 450°. In a large roasting pan, bake soup bones, uncovered, 30 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer bones to a large Dutch oven or an Insant Pot. Add remaining ingredients and enough water to cover bones by about an inch.
Cover and simmer, slowly and slow cook for 12-18 hours. (This is where the Insta Pot or slow cooker really shines). *If you are using the stove top or oven, be sure to add water as necessary
4. Remove beef bones & cool. Remove meat and save for another use and discard bones. Strain broth through a cheesecloth-lined colander, discarding vegetables and seasonings. If using immediately, skim fat. Even easier - refrigerate a few hours or overnight and remove cold fat from surface.
5. Broth can be covered and refrigerated up to 5 days or frozen 4-6 months.
