Buy the beef from the best butcher meat shop in Woking or the best butcher meat shop in Guildford, and you are good to go.

Beef broth can be made by using leftover bones from roasted beef or freshly bought beef. Butcher shop online ordering can save you a lot of time, time that you can spend on making your broth awesome. There are butcher deliveries in Woking and butcher deliveries in Guildford.

Ingredients:

• 2-3lb of mixed beef bones (ribs, knuckles, neck bones)
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 medium-sized carrots (roughly chopped)
• 2 medium-sized onions (roughly chopped)
• 1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
• 1 bay leaf
• 2-3 celery stalks (roughly chopped)
• ½ tsp peppercorns
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 12-15 cups Filtered water
• 3-4 garlic cloves

Method:

• Add the bones in the boiling water for 10-15 minutes to remove the impurities.
• Drizzle the bones with oil and place them on a roasting pan.
• Roast the bones for 30 minutes, then flip and roast again for 30 minutes.
• Add the roasted bones along with vegetables, vinegar, bay leaf, peppercorns, and garlic into a large soup pot.
• Add enough filtered water that all the things are generously covered.
• Add the bit of salt and cook on high flame.
• Once it starts to boil, simmer it down for 12-24 hours, or until it is reduced to half or one-third.
• When it turns dark, rich brown in colour, remove from the heat.
• Strain it through a cheesecloth, discarding the bones, vegetables, and bay leaf.
• Cool it down to room temperature.
• After it cools down, pour it into jars.
• Use it immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use.

Broth can be stored in jars and frozen for up to 2 months. Make sure to leave some gap at the top of the jar as it will expand due to freezing.

The frozen broth gets gelatinised due to the collagen content of bones. When reheated, it liquefies again.

It is good to go as a sipping tonic. Add some salt and seasoning as per your taste. Or you can use it in some gravies, sauces, and soups.
