Categories     Soup/Stew     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 24

12 medium leeks, trimmed
12 carrots, peeled and halved crosswise
12 stalks celery, halved crosswise
1 large onion, quartered and studded with 4 cloves
4 pounds boneless rump roast or top or bottom round
2 pounds beef shanks, about 1 1/2-inches thick
2 pounds oxtail or beef short ribs
1 (2-pound) marrow bone, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 bouquet garni
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 bay leaves
6 small turnips, peeled and quartered
1 medium rutabaga, peeled and cut into eighths
1 1/2 pounds small new potatoes
8 slices French bread, plus additional for passing with marrow bones
2 cloves garlic, peeled
Condiments:
Coarse sea salt
Cornichons
Pickled onions
Grated horseradish
Dijon mustard
Whole grain mustard

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot place 6 leeks, 6 carrot pieces, 6 celery pieces and onion. Tie each piece of meat individually to hold its shape during the long cooking time, and place on top of the vegetables. Add 2 marrowbones to the pot, tucking them between the meat, and the bouquet garni, salt and peppercorns. Add enough water to cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer partially covered for 3 hours, skimming any foam which forms on the top. Strain the broth and discard the cooking vegetables. Return the broth and meats to the pot and add the bay leaves, and the remaining marrowbones and vegetables except the potatoes. Bring the broth to a simmer and cook, partially covered, for 1 hour, adding the potatoes after a 1/2 hour. Remove the meat from the broth and discard the trussing strings. Carefully remove the vegetables from the broth, place them on a large serving platter, and moisten with some broth. Cover and keep warm. Strain the broth and discard any remaining vegetables. Carve the meat and place on the serving platter with the vegetables. Cover and keep warm. Rub the bread with garlic and lightly toast before placing in the bottom of a shallow bowl. Pour equal amounts of broth over the croutons and serve as a first course. Pass the marrowbones at the table and serve with additional toast for spreading the marrow. Serve the meat and vegetables as a main course with desired condiments.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a winner. The meat is so tender and the broth is so flavorful. I love to serve it with crusty bread and a side of mashed potatoes.
