Method

  1. Place the beef bones in a large stockpot (at least 8-quart capacity) and cover completely with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and let it boil hard for 5 minutes; you will see a lot of gray foam rise to the surface. This parboiling step removes impurities that would otherwise cloud your broth.
