Instructions
Step 1: Make the Beef Broth
- In a large stockpot, place the beef and cover with cold water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and skim off any foam.
- Add onion, garlic, celery, carrots, bay leaf, peppercorns, and salt.
- Simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the broth is richly flavored.
Tip: The longer it simmers, the deeper the flavor. You can also use a slow cooker or pressure cooker for convenience.
