- While the bones are simmering, chop the onions, carrots and celery into large pieces and crush the garlic cloves.
- Place the crushed garlic cloves in a large piece of cheesecloth along with the parsley, thyme, bay leaf and peppercorns. Tie the cloth up in a bundle and secure using cooking twine.
- After the 1 hour simmer time, add the herb bundle along with the cut up vegetables to the pot.
- Let the stock simmer, partially covered, for an additional 5 hours, skimming the top and adding more water as needed.
- Strain finished stock through a colander or fine mesh sieve to remove the vegetables, herb bundle, bones and any impurities.
- Cool the stock completely in the refrigerator and use immediately or store for later use. See storage instructions below.
Notes
Vegetables - Add leeks, shallots, or mushrooms for more flavor. Herbs & Seasoning - For a more earthy stock, add herbs like rosemary and sage. For more spice, add whole cloves or allspice berries to the herb packet. Add chiles or peppers for a spicy beef stock. Richer Stock - Roast bones in a large roasting pan until well browned. Add to the pot, cover with cold water, and begin simmering. While the stock is simmering, brown the vegetables in the same pan with a little bit of olive oil on the stovetop. Once browned, add them to the pot of stock and deglaze with a bit of water. Scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any browned bits and add it and the liquid to the pot. Follow the remaining directions for simmering.
