Directions: |
Directions:braise beef on each side then put in roasting pan and roast at 350 for about 3 hours. Put roasted beef (with bone!) into cool water in slow-cooker or on stove for HOURS. Also include a cut-up onion (in quarters) some whole garlic cloves and fresh herbs (tied-up or in cheesecloth if you like). Water should be enough to cover beef (usually 4-6 cups). Take off stove after HOURS. Separate solids from liquid. Put broth in bowl. Put beef in separate bowl. Throw away remaining solids. Put broth & beef in refrig overnight. ON THE NEXT DAY, remove the fat from the top of the broth. Discard. Cut-up beef into spoonable bits (so you can get a nice hunk on the spoon but not so big you have to spit it back) Recombine broth and beef. Put in another finely cut onion together with carrots, celery, peeled potatoes and a can of tomatoes (with sauce--sometimes I use two cans) together with other veggies you like. You can add another batch of fresh herbs if you like. No weird veggies. Cook and cook and cook until veggies are done. I don't like the idea of boiled soup but everyone is different. Add any frozen veggies you might like (peas or corn for instance). |

Personal
Notes: There are three essentials here: 1) the roasted bone (gives the flavor) 2) cooking one day and getting rid of the fat the next day (fat gives flavor but if too greasy you'll puke) and 3) the acid from the tomatoes.
