What each ingredient does
- Beef
- Releases its flavor and dissolved proteins into the liquid as it heats, forming the broth.
The step that matters
Heat the water gently. Gentle heat draws flavor and soluble proteins from the beef slowly. Boiling makes the broth cloudy and can toughen the meat, so the water should stay below a simmer.
