Beef Broth
Broths • Icelandic
Description
This recipe allows you to make a thick, rich beef broth that can be used in various ways. It’s quite simple to prepare, provided you have 3.5 hours of free time. It's essential to use bones to make the beef broth, as this will ensure it's hearty and flavorful. Some of the other ingredients are optional, while others are necessary. Even if you don't have tomatoes, the green part of leeks, or thyme on hand, the broth will still turn out well, as long as you include onions, carrots, celery, bay leaves, and pepper in the pot.
