How to Make Stock From Roasted Beef Marrow Bones

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large roasting pan, combine 2 lbs beef marrow bones, 1 lb stew meat, 2 large onions (quartered), and 2 large carrots (roughly chopped).
  3. Drizzle everything with 2 tablespoons olive oil, ensuring all ingredients are lightly coated.
  4. Roast for 45 minutes, flipping bones, meat, and vegetables halfway through. Bones should be browned, not charred.
  5. Transfer the roasted bones, meat, and vegetables to a large stockpot.
  6. Place the roasting pan on two burners. Add 1 cup of hot water and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour this into the stockpot.
  7. Add enough water to cover the bones by 2-3 inches (approximately 8-12 cups).
  8. Add 2 stalks celery (roughly chopped), 4 cloves garlic (minced), 1/2 cup fresh parsley (chopped), 2 bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon black peppercorns.
  9. Bring the stock to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to the lowest setting and maintain a very slow simmer for at least 3 hours; 6-8 hours is ideal for maximum flavor.
  10. Do not stir the stock; this prevents the fat from emulsifying and clouding the broth.
  11. Periodically skim off any fat and scum that rises to the surface.
  12. Use tongs to remove the bones and vegetables from the stock.
  13. Strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined colander to remove all solids.
  14. Allow the stock to cool completely to room temperature.
  15. Store in the refrigerator with the fat layer intact. Remove the fat layer before freezing for optimal storage.
  16. Remember to leave 1 inch of headspace in your container to allow for expansion during freezing.
