The secret to Martha's mom's beef stock recipe? Using marrow in addition to the meat and bones. It's the base for her Mushroom-Barley Soup.

Yield Makes 10 to 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 pounds beef with bones and marrow
2 carrots, roughly chopped
1 stalk celery, roughly chopped
1 parsnip, roughly chopped
1 dried bay leaf
1 onion, unpeeled and halved lengthwise
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place meat and bones in a large stock pot. Add enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a very gentle simmer. Cook, skimming occasionally, until no more foam rises to the surface, about 1 hour. Add water if at any time the surface level drops below the bones. Remove any accumulated fat from the surface.
  • Add carrots, celery, parsnip, and bay leaf. Place onion halves directly on the trivet of a gas-stove burner over high heat or on a grill. Turn the onion with tongs as the onion becomes golden brown. If you do not have a gas stove, place the onion on a baking pan, and broil in the oven, turning as each side becomes golden brown. Add onion to stockpot. Continue to simmer until the meat is tender, about 2 hours.
  • Prepare an ice-water bath. Strain the stock through a fine sieve, or a cheesecloth-lined strainer, into a large bowl. Discard the solids. Transfer the bowl to the ice-water bath, and let the stock cool to room temperature.
  • Transfer the stock to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, and up to overnight so the fat collects on the top and can be removed. Stock can be refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen up to 4 months.
