Beef Stock

[heart_this] · Jan 30, 2008 · 5 Comments

I just had to use the bones from my prime rib dinner to make beef stock. I rarely get to make my own stock and so whenever I get the chance I do so. Home made stock just adds that extra bit of flavour to whatever you are using it in. Making stock is a great way to finish off those extra vegetables and herbs that you have lying around. I tend to just toss in whatever I have. I was thinking that it might be a good idea to add some roasted mushrooms to the stock but I was a bit worried that it would become more of a mushroom stock. Maybe I will try it next time. Of course one of the first things that I did with my newly made beef stock was to use it and some slices of the roast beef to make some beef ramen .

    Kevin, you’re right to leave out the mushrooms, let it stay a beef stock. You can add mushrooms to whatver your making with the stock.

    I just find home made stocks to be so much better. Your recipe looks like a really good one – I like the variety of herbs that you used – I’m going to try this one.

    Great ingredients in your homemade beef stock. The only thing you could add to improve the taste would be one or two parsnips. Peel and chop like the carrots and add in the roasting stage in the oven.

    If you don’t have bones, you can also use beef shank, meat included. Just follow your recipe. When cooked and you strain everything out, you can cut the meat from the shanks into bite sized pieces and then continue on with your beef and barley soup.
