Bone Broth Recipes

• 2 Unpeeled, Large Yellow Onion
• 6cm of Unpeeled, Fresh Ginger
• 5 kg Beef Bones
• 4 tablespoon Light Brown Sugar
• 2 tablespoon Kosher Salt
• 2 teaspoon Ground White Pepper
• 6cm Asian Cinnamon
• 2 Star Anise Pod
• 2 Whole Clove
• 2 Optional Black Cardamom Pod

METHODS FOR MAKING STOCK

1. Place onion and ginger on open flame or BBQ to cook until they go black. Remove the skin. 
2. Choose a pot is large enough to blanch the bones without boiling over - my take is 2 part of water to 1 part of bones - need 10L pot
3.  Put marrow bones in a large pot with enough water  and bring it to the boil and hold it for about 2 minutes. 
4. Drain pot’s contents into a colander and wash and rinse the bones under cold running water.
5. Add water back to the pot and put the bones back in. Bring it to the boil.
6. Add onion, ginger. Skim off any foam. Lower heat to a simmer; simmer, skimming as needed to remove surface scum, 4-8 hours depending on how large your bones are. Please add more water if needed as it might escape some.
7. Remove from heat. Using a slotted spoon, discard large bones. Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a large container. Allow to cool. Refrigerate overnight.
8. The next day, skim off most of the surface fat. Leave some fat to give the stock better flavour. Store in airtight containers up to 3 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer.
