Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds beef marrow bones
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 stalks celery stalks
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 leaves bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 3 sprigs thyme sprigs
- 4 sprigs parsley stems
- 16 cups water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Place the beef marrow bones on a large roasting pan. Roast for 30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until deep brown.
While the bones are roasting, roughly chop the carrots, celery, and onion. Smash the garlic cloves, leaving the skins on.
Remove the roasted bones from the oven and set aside. In the same pan, add the chopped vegetables and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and spread evenly.
Return the pan to the oven and roast the vegetables for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until caramelized.
Transfer the roasted bones and vegetables to a large stockpot. Deglaze the roasting pan by adding a splash of water and scraping up any browned bits. Pour the liquid into the stockpot.
Add the tomato paste, bay leaves, black peppercorns, thyme, and parsley stems to the pot.
Pour 16 cups of water over the bones and vegetables, ensuring everything is fully submerged.
Bring the stock to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.
Reduce the heat to low, cover slightly with the lid ajar, and simmer for 8 hours. Check occasionally to ensure the liquid level remains above the ingredients, adding water as necessary.
Strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl. Discard the solids.
Let the stock cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate it. Skim off the solidified fat layer before using.
The stock can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
