Rich Beef Broth


This recipe for beef broth roasts the beef bones first, adding an intense richness to the broth. You can also add leeks in place of or in addition to the onions if you would like. If you would prefer a milder, lighter broth, than simply skip the step that roasts the beef bones in the oven. This broth freezes well, so it is a great idea to double the recipe when you can. Just cool, and store in airtight containers in your freezer until needed.

Buon Appetito!
