Ingredients

  • 6 lbs beef bones
  • 12 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 2 bay leaves

Method

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  • In a large pan at least 1 inch deep - place your beef bones - bake for 3 hrs at 425°F Remove and cool. Ask your butcher, short bones work as well some meat left on the bone is fine some even like using the oxtail bone, any is really ok.
  • Place in a large stock pot and cover with 12 cups of water. Add salt, pepper, thyme and bay leaves - slow cook for 3 hours. Remove bones and herbs.
  • You should be left with a nice dark rich color beef stock - this can be sealed in jars or frozen for later use. The heartier the stock the better the soup.
