What each ingredient does
- Lean beef
- Supplies the meaty flavor and soluble savory compounds that dissolve into the cold water.
The step that matters
Cover and let it stand for four hours, stirring occasionally.. Cold water extracts flavor slowly and gently. Stirring spreads the dissolving compounds through the liquid, and too short a standing time leaves the broth weak.
