To achieve the best flavor, use high-quality beef bones. Marrow bones are especially flavorful.
Roast the bones before simmering them. This will enhance their flavor and color.
Use a variety of vegetables to add depth and complexity to the broth. Onions, carrots, celery, and garlic are all good choices.
Simmer the broth for at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours for a more concentrated flavor.
Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids.
Season the broth to taste with salt and pepper.
Store the broth in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To make bouillon cubes, pour the broth into ice cube trays and freeze until solid. Pop out the cubes and store them in airtight containers in the freezer for up to 6 months.
