Directions
Prepare the beef
Remove all skin and fat from the beef.

Place the chopped beef in a pot and cover with water.
Simmer gently for several hours until the beef is tender and the liquid is flavorful.
Strain the liquid to separate the beef from the broth.

What each ingredient does
- Beef
- Provides the main flavor and protein that gives the broth its richness.
- Water
- Extracts flavor and gelatin from the beef as it simmers, forming the broth.
The step that matters
Simmer gently. Gentle simmering slowly breaks down the connective tissue in the beef and draws out flavor without toughening the meat or clouding the broth. Boiling hard makes the meat tough and the liquid cloudy.
