Beef Broth

Beef broth is a cooking liquid made by slowly simmering beef bones, meat and root vegetables. It serves as a base for soups, sauces, risottos and braised dishes. Quality homemade broth has a golden colour and clean flavour. Cooking takes three to six hours, with longer times extracting more collagen and producing a richer body. Compared to commercial stock cubes, homemade broth contains less sodium and no artificial additives. It keeps in the refrigerator for up to five days or can be frozen for several months.
