How to Make Another Homemade Beef Stock Recipe
- Rinse 3 lbs beef bones (knuckle, marrow, etc.) under cold water to remove any impurities.
- In a large stockpot or crockpot, cover the bones with cold water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat (do not boil).
- Drain the water and rinse the bones thoroughly until the water runs clear. This removes impurities and creates a clearer stock.
- Add the rinsed bones back to the pot. Add 3 quarts (12 cups) of cold water, 1 large onion (quartered), 2 carrots (roughly chopped), 2 celery stalks (roughly chopped), 4 bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon black peppercorns.
- Bring to a gentle simmer (do not boil). Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 7 hours, or up to 12 hours for maximum flavor. A crockpot on low is ideal for this long simmer.
- Carefully strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth into a large bowl or container. Discard the solids.
- Let the stock cool completely to room temperature before refrigerating. This allows fat to solidify on top, which can easily be removed once chilled.
