How to Make Stock From Roasted Beef Marrow Bones
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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).
- Drizzle everything with 2 tablespoons olive oil, ensuring all ingredients are lightly coated.
- Roast for 45 minutes, flipping bones, meat, and vegetables halfway through. Bones should be browned, not charred.
- Transfer the roasted bones, meat, and vegetables to a large stockpot.
- 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.
- Add enough water to cover the bones by 2-3 inches (approximately 8-12 cups).
- Add 2 stalks celery (roughly chopped), 4 cloves garlic (minced), 1/2 cup fresh parsley (chopped), 2 bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon black peppercorns.
- 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.
- Do not stir the stock; this prevents the fat from emulsifying and clouding the broth.
- Periodically skim off any fat and scum that rises to the surface.
- Use tongs to remove the bones and vegetables from the stock.
- Strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined colander to remove all solids.
- Allow the stock to cool completely to room temperature.
- Store in the refrigerator with the fat layer intact. Remove the fat layer before freezing for optimal storage.
- Remember to leave 1 inch of headspace in your container to allow for expansion during freezing.
