What each ingredient does

Beef
Its fat and connective tissue soften during slow simmering, making the meat tender and juicy.

The step that matters

Skimming while the water comes to a boil. Foam and impurities rise to the surface as the water heats. Removing them keeps the broth clear and the flavour clean.
