Getting Started

For the richest, most gelatinous broth, roast beef marrow and knuckle bones at 200°C for 30-40 minutes before simmering with vegetables and a splash of apple cider vinegar for 12-24 hours. The roasting caramelizes the bones, intensifying flavor.
When incorporating broth into baked dishes, reduce it by half before adding for a more concentrated beef essence without excess liquid. This prevents soggy results in casseroles or gratins.
To boost protein in baked dishes using broth, ensure a high meat-to-liquid ratio. For example, in a shepherd's pie, use lean ground beef and a dense, high-protein topping like cauliflower mash instead of potatoes.
Always season your broth and subsequent dishes in layers. Add salt early to the broth, then adjust again when assembling your baked meal. This ensures balanced flavor throughout, preventing bland spots.
