Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas Mark 4.
- Roast the beef bones in a baking tray until dark and golden; around 40 minutes.
- Cut the vegetables into large chunks.
- Gently heat the oil in a large saucepan and gently sauté the vegetables until starting to soften; around 20 minutes.
- Add the roasted bones to the vegetables with the remaining ingredients and water. Bring to the boil and gently simmer for 2 hours.
- As the broth cooks, froth will rise to the top of the pan. Skim this off with a spoon and discard for a clear, tasty broth. You’ll need to do this a few times as the bones simmer.
- Remove the bones from the pan, allow to cool slightly, then push out as much marrowbone as you can.
- Return the bones and marrowbone to the pan and simmer for another 3 hours, remembering to skim away any froth.
- Leave the broth to cool down then pass it through a fine sieve, retaining the clear liquid.
- Use the broth immediately or divide it into portions and freeze.
