Raw Beef Broth: Asian Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 pound beef bones
• 4 cups water
• 1 onion, peeled and halved
• 1 ginger, peeled and sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled
• 2 star anise
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce

Instructions:

1. Rinse beef bones under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Preheat oven to 450°F and roast the bones in the oven for 30 minutes.
2. In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to boil. Add the roasted beef bones, onion, ginger, garlic, star anise, and cinnamon stick. Bring the broth to a boil again, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 2-3 hours until the meat falls off the bones.
3. Strain the broth using a fine-mesh strainer or a cheesecloth. Add soy sauce and fish sauce, then let it cool and store the broth in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Verdict:

This raw beef broth has a savory and rich flavor, perfect for any Asian-inspired dishes. It can be used as a base for soups, stews, or even as a drinking broth.

Serving Suggestions:

• Use the beef broth as a base for pho soup by adding rice noodles, beef slices, and fresh herbs like basil, cilantro, and mint.
• Add it to stir-fry dishes instead of water for an extra boost of flavor.
• Drink the broth on its own as a healthy and nourishing drink.
