What each ingredient does

Beef
Provides the meat juices that form the broth's main flavour and body.

The step that matters

Clarifying the broth with boiling water and salt. Adding boiling water to the extracted juice and seasoning it at the end lets you control clarity and taste. Boiling water helps coagulate fine particles so they can be skimmed off, leaving a clearer broth.
