Soup Stock Recipes:
Beef Stock

Until I found some easy soup stock recipes, I thought that soup stock was something you bought in a carton at the grocery store. I was wrong! Homemade soup stock is easy to make, more economical than the processed stuff, and of course much tastier, healthier and better for the environment! Try this easy recipe for beef stock and see what I mean!

I freeze the stock in 2 cup portions (in freezer bags or plastic containers).

1 Tbsp/15 mL oil

2 lbs/1 kg meaty beef bones

8 cups/2 litres water

1 medium onion, cut into quarters

1/4 cup/60 mL cider vinegar

1/2 tsp/2 mL dried whole marjoram

1/2 tsp/2 mL dried whole thyme

1 bay leaf

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add the beef bones to the pot. Sear the beef bones on all sides.
Add all remaining ingredients.
Bring to a boil. Turn heat down and simmer for at least 2 hours.
Remove the bones and discard.
Strain the stock, discarding the vegetables.
Use the stock right away, or let it cool and freeze it.
