Have you not heard of the word savory? Using foreign words that mean the same doesn't make you special... if anything it makes you look like you have your head up your butt.
Sonny, you are using the wrong tool at 7:20 to skim fat and scum off of your stock. Use an Asian style fat skimmer. They have an ultra fine metal mesh, and for some reason, water passes through the mesh trivially, but fat doesn't like to, and only does so with difficulty. Fat seems to have higher surface tension in the presence of fine steel mesh. This lets you skim the fat off with far less effort and time than it takes using a ladle.
I was taught to make stock by my grandmother, she taught us to remove the bones at the 2.5- 3 hhr mark and strip the meat from the bones. Rather than blacken the vegetables as you did, she taught us to cut them into similar sized pieces and brown them in tallow/lard/chicken fat depending on the stock. Theses where also pulled from the stock along with the bones meat and saved, from these we would make pie filling with some "fresh" vegetables and this rolled into teaching us how to make pastry. She went through two world wars and the great depression and learned the value of waste not want not from experiance. With how our modern world is going learning from our grandparents and great grandparents if possable is wise. As a side note my grandfather would put the bones in the fire and would later grind the bones mixed with the ash for the garden to grow more vegetables. Thanks your for the video making a secondary light stock was new to us and valuable knowledge, Take care, God bless one and all.
Pie filling, that sounds delicious. Thank you for you very informative post including the garden hack. 🤗❤️ P.S. I use the meat in curry sauce, it’s very delicious.
I can attest to getting beef bone cut offs for free. Went to a local butcher in the next town over and asked him if he had any cutoffs/bones he was going to toss. I explained I was going to try to make home made beef stock. He literally gave me almost 30 lbs for free, excellent cuts full of marrow. I offered him money, but all he wanted was some of my homemade stock in return. I happily gave him a bunch after.
@@Greblav If you have any local farms near you, I'd suggest you approach and just ask the farmer. They may know someone that butchers and be able to help you out. Or ask around at a local farmers market, someone is bound to know someone. Heck, even ask your co workers. Thats how I found the gentleman that hooked me up.
Top tip, do your remouillage in a pressure cooker. It will extract all the last of the gelatin from the bones to make that second stock almost as unctuous as the first one.
pressure cookers are SICK. Bones after it just goes to paste ) Best stock i've ever ate was always from pressure cooker. It takes all flawors from meat, bones and veggies into the stock.
I argue with myself whether to use my pressure cooker (holds less, but more concentrated flavor) or the big old roasting pan. When I use the pressure cooker, I only cook for an hour-and-a-half. For this 8-hour cook, should I bump the time up by a lot? Edit: you know the pressure cooker has done its best, because if you taste the meat, there's pretty much zero flavor left in it.
@@jvallas I usually go for between 2 and three hours, three if I'm not pushed for time. That extra time is just for getting more gelatin out of the bones but I think after that you are getting rapidly diminishing returns.
@@jvallas look, I use a pressure cooker to extract all the flavors from vegetable trimmings, meat trimmings, leftover bones and cartilage. The pressure cooker forces the food to release all its vitamins, aromatic oils and nutrients into the broth without loss. I use this broth to make soups and sauces without wasting good ingredients on sauces. I cook good ingredients (tenderloins, steaks, filets, main parts of vegetables) in a cast iron skillet. And already into it I add the result of the pressure cooker to improve the taste.
oh, i think i got misunderstanding. im using Afghan Pressure Cooker "kazan". it has a lot higher pressure and after it bones simply crumble into dust if you squeeze them, since all the useful substances under pressure went into the broth.
I just got the call to do a trial shift in a kitchen this week and potentially leaving a job I've been at for over a decade to finally follow my passion. Sonny's channel was a huge inspiration for me to really start trying to master the craft of cooking and I'll forever be grateful for that.
Here’s a tip: After you make your stock and freeze it in deli containers , run the container until a bit of hot water until the stock loosens, pop it into a vacuum sealer bag and seal the bag. Your stock will last many more months in the freezer because air can’t get to it.
Another tip, make very gelatious stock and put it into Tupperware. Once cool, tip it onto a chopping board, chop into cubes. Put on a plate and freeze separately. Then you can put them in a food bag and take them out one frozen stock cube at a time.
@@tomallcock3185 great tip but you can easily use cheap ice cube trays! Thanks for sharing, and, remember to label the bag with the date that you have prepared the beef cubes. Even the best prepared beef stock will degrade after 6 months, turning bitter tasting. Happy cooking!
And that is a great idea, however, I will add, reduce your stock by half. Then freeze it. If you need two cups of stock, use one cup of reduced stock and add one cup of water.
Pro Tip: If you need a fair amount of tomato paste, use a small can. Tubes are for those moments where you only need a Tbsp or two Second tip: if you have a lot of exposed marrow bones, you can leech out the blood (hume) in cold water first. This helps get rid of the gross top foam / cloudy stock
Definitely this. Its worth the extra step, although marrow bones are becoming more popular so I don't always get a lot from the butcher, it just depands on when I ask really.
I learned how to do this almost 40 years ago, and i make my BeefStock about a week after Thanksgiving......to be ready for Christmas Prime Rib. I make my own Chicken Stock all through the year......but Beef Scraps and Bones have come increasingly harder for me to find.....i have a special bin in my deep freeze......when i come across them , Im ON IT!.....i gotta say SONNY.....you totally nailed this . When I learned this i was early 20's, and did MASS Quantities of Prime Rib Bones in Huge Hotel Roasting Pans that could hold 3 Boneoff Prime Ribs.....then make the stock in a 20 Gallon Tip Kettle. I got so good, suddenly it was my job.......never caught on the old timers didnt want to do the heavy lifting, or babysitting the Ovens or Kettle.......so yeah, Sonny, I DO KNOW!
Suggestion. When placing your fantastic liquid into a container, turn it upside down when placing it into the fridge. The next day you just need to pour out your stock as all the fat is on the bottom.
In cooking school we rubbed our mirepoix with the tomato paste and baked it in the oven as well as the bones, we didn't put any paste on the bones we did blacken the onyo too.. great techniques bro you're making me want to make some up now
I made stock based upon your first stock video, stayed up until 5am keeping my eye on it, my wife thought I was insane, but loves the channel too...Best cooking channel out there.
I love seeing the number of comments about how YOU, Mr. Dude, were so fundamental in teaching people to cook! I have to add my own. I make your BBQ sauce and Rosemary salt, and experiment with both, all the time. I have friends and co-workers who are constantly asking, "when's the next time you're going to make this?" It feels amazing. Huge thank you to you, and the team!
Been cooking a long time so thought to add something here. I make my own Vietnamese beef pho broth Hanoi style so spent a year researching how its done. I even spent 3 months in SEA wandering around learning how they make their broths. The one thing i found that makes a broth richer with out compromising the flavor profile of the beef is to use a pound of chicken feet for every gallon of stock that you intend to finish with. They are extremely high in collagen which adds that desired richness. They are also inexpensive at ~$2.50/lb at most Asian groceries. I make batches of two gallons each overnight adding the aromatics for the last hour of the low simmer, then freeze it in 1/2 gallon volumes using zip-locks. I have pho bo broth when i need it.
Your cooking lessons are so great! My family often eats in silence because of the concepts and best cooking practices you share with us. I apply your tips to everything I cook. Love how you reinforce your tips in each video!
My life changed too when I started doing this and putting money in stocks. The first few years it as really great, but this year I haven't felt like my portfolio is doing well. I have lost more than $40,000 from my portfolio the past four months, and it's now very worrisome.
The year has been really rough for everybody. But I've been able to cushion the effect though. Have you thought of using an investment advisor? They can make you good money especially during uncertain times like this.
Yes, I agree. I use a financial advisor too. Same person since 2020. I don't worry about whether the economy is going up or down or sideways. I always ride through.

I don't know what it is that sets you apart and elevates you above any other chef/cooking RUclips channel I have ever watched, but your channel is amazing and you're inspiring. Love it!
I did this without the tomato paste using more onions…I had some walla walla sweet onions I had to use up so I blacked some just roasted some… came out truly awesome thx so much for the tips you give us on the channel!!!
I have never commented on anything on the internet. I love watching cooking videos. This was one of the very best cooking videos I have ever seen. The extra steps and storage options included! Great visuals and concise presentation without sacrificing anything. I will follow this recipe to the word. I can’t wait to try.
I followed your beef stock recipe a few days ago, refrigerated it overnight, saved the fat and portioned it for the freezer. The stock is amazing. I did an audible on the Remouillage by adding 4 beef ribs I couldn't fit into the stockpot. The Remouillage also came out amazing and surprisingly was nearly as gelatinous as the stock. I will definitely be doing both the stock and Remouillage from now on. In fact, I'm using the Remouillage for tomorrow night's dinner: Mushroom Bourguignon. Thanks again for this awesome technique.
This was super interesting. I started making my own chicken and beef stocks about a year ago. I make them in a 20qt pot (and sometimes also have an additional 12 qt Dutch oven going). The big different here for me is that I often throw a ton of veggies in just for the nutrients. I’ve got two little kids and sneaking micronutrients in anywhere I can is always a bonus. I ALSO tend to try to use the really gelatinous stuff for everything - soups included. Reason being that I love the mouthfeel AND love knowing everyone is getting all of that extra protein in the form of collagen. Perhaps it’s unnecessary, or maybe. Just a matter of preference. Definitely gonna try some of the other tricks though…and this fuels my desire for a vacuum sealer
I follow your method, except I do add the celery and garlic. But when I make stock, I use around 20-25lbs of beef bones and cook it outdoors in a large tamale pot on my turkey fryer burner. Another secret I use is about 5lbs of chicken feet for extra gelatin. When it’s finished, I pressure can in quarts and pints. That way it’s shelf stable and ready without thawing. Last batch was just over 4 gallons. I am set for the next year.
I made some just like you did. I used chef Jean-Pierre’s recipe. I recently added a quarter quart to some braised beef short ribs and it took the resulting sauce to an entirely different level. Definitely make this!
I save all my onion skins and vegetable scraps in a freezer bag. Also save all bones from our dinners. When I have enough to make broth, I add all to a huge water canning pot and add some fresh or dried herbs from my garden. Add a couple tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and water to fill the pot. I proceed to simmer this for 48 hours or more, adding water to keep the level up. I then get my jars and lids and pressure canner, and can according to directions, hot pack. Label jars and store in proper rotation. I haven't used a lot of beef bones so I'm very excited to see if I have a local butcher. Thanks for sharing your talents. ❤
Thanx Sonny...I fill regular sized ice cube trays with demi and vacuum seal 1 or 2 cubes together..Man, .you've certainly enriched my life with this stock/demi recipe alone...and in concert with your stroganoff recipe Wow!...I'm 65...been amateur cookin my whole life...thank you much dude...even my asian oyster sauce strongly benefits from using the stock ...its not only the base flavor but the mouthfeel....the collagen of course lends so much to that....both the stock and demi are such a luxury ingredients..
One thing I learned a long time ago was when you first add the liquid is to add a tiny amount (1 teaspoon per 5 litres) of apple cider vinegar to help extract the extra collagen and minerals from the bones. Especially when doing chicken foot/neck.
I was told that salt prevents the bones from breaking down as well and adding to the stock, and to use a couple glugs of vinegar for the opposite effect....or wine.
I really found this video helpful! I always make chicken stock and freeze in vacuum bags. With various sizes! But I also like containers too since they are reusable. My friend was telling she hates celery in stocks never occurred to me to use leeks instead, let alone blacken the onions first! I've never made beef stock though! I think I'll ask my butcher for any beef bones next Wednesday. I was going to attempt this in my instant pot until you said LOW & SLOW. Either way works for me - I'll try your method first. Thank you!
Big thumbs up for this video!!! I love making stock, and you give several tricks that I'm going to use from now on! Blackening the onions and leek, I'm gonna try that. I'm accustomed to tomato paste out of a can but a tube looks way more practical here. I was always looking for more foamy stuff to take out so there were some stocks where I didn't even skim anything, that's clear now (no pun intended) The remouillage; I was cooking my bones for 12 hours before throwing in the veggies for another 4. This is a bit more work but having two different stocks instead of one(with the flavor in between those two) is probably worth it. My tip for everyone is the herb Marjoran. It's delicious. floral, and it goes very well with almost all spices, like thyme and rosemary. I discovered it a few years back and I can't for the life of me understand why I never see anyone using or even mentioning it. When I put it in my beefstock I got so many compliments and questions about that one specific flavor which nobody could identify.
I am making this right now and our house has smelled crazy good all day with the scent of this amazing stock. Thank you for the amazing tutorial Sonny!
If you're making something like Phở or a consommé this works nicely. Mind you, I roast bones for Phở too, and if you keep the stock at a bare simmer and skim it every so often, the clarity ends up wonderful anyway
This is the base of French Oignion Soupe. Once the stock is made, the Soupe doesn't take long, so it's easy for people to assume it's trivial to make. Which it is, if you're on the ball 3 months in advance. "How do you make this? It's so delicious!" "Be a good cook 3 months ago"
Dude, your vids are awesome and from a teaching perspective it is one of your best. I make your stuff all the time but i don't have a fridge to kick! Good job man! Good job.
That’s what he was showing when he reduced some at the end, which Marcus licked off the plate, and which only made a blue icecube worth of Demi glacé. Normally you would reduce quite a bit more to make it worthwhile.
This is the best beef stock video I have ever seen and I have learned a lot from it. Thank you! Can you please provide a link to the vacuum seal machine you use? Thank you.
I have bought 2 kinds of deli containers from Amazon in the past. I need more, and I'm hoping these are the ones I preferred. I can't tell from looking at the picture, but one kind are a type of hard but very clear plastic - could break if you really tried (least fave, not flexible the way the others are). 2nd kind is very flexible and just slightly opaque. I think that's what these are. If so, they're great.
No matter what stock I'm making, I always add all the brown onion skin I have on hand. Always. Firm rule. That changes the depth of flavor immeasurably. I don't know why, but it's amazing to me.
Just wanted to drop a line and say I love your channel. You seem like such a regular, approachable dude, so it's refreshing to see genuine people on YT versus all of the made-up personalities and characters. Haven't tried this method for beef stock, but I did do your 24 brisket and it was the best piece of meat I've ever cooked! That technique was incredible, although my energy bill hates you for it! I know I should be asking this in the brisket video, but is there any shortcut or cheat to cutting down the oven cook-time by using a sous vide, which is more energy efficient?
Great recipe! About the fat: use it as a substitute for butter on your next slice of bread. I've made a similar broth, using deer bones. They came as 3€ per 1kg.
“I can’t believe i spent over 17 minutes watching and paying very intense attention to this video…wait, yes I do”! I’m a passionate home cook😁🙌🏽this video is gravy gold❤Thank you❤
Use a fine mesh sieve/ladle to skim the scum. They're available at Chinese grocery stores. They look like a shallow ladle with a very fine mesh. A fine mesh ladle will remove scum without picking up much of your stock. If you want to make a super stock in the future, keep your remouillage in the freezer to start your next stock. A stock that is started with a prior remouillage is yet another increment elevated from a stock that was started with water.
I melt my fat from the sheet tray and from the top (after cold resting) in a takeout container in the microwave until remelted. When room temp, I use my board scraper to cut a grid in the semi solid fat right to the bottom, then just pop the whole thing in my freezer. Instant fat chunks for the best pancakes, fried rice, eggs, etc.
I cook the vegetables and meat in separate pots, then add them together at the end. This lets me make twice as much at a time, about 24 quarts. I re-run the bones through a pressure cooker for two hours, and add that as well. I don't have enough room in my freezer, so I can the stock and keep it for months.
Burnt, black onions are the bomb. Whenever I do stovetop fried potatoes I chop up some onion, throw it in the skillet with the taters, and fry until the onions are basically black and crispy. 😅.
That flat bag will thaw in about 20 mins if you put it on your aluminum baking sheet. Great trick. Wish I'd learned it years ago. Magic word in "aluminum"
One thing I was always taught with stocks is to keep it out of the danger zone = 40 - 140 f for more than 1.5 hours it is spoiled because of bacteria growth in fact your chances of food poisoning doubles within 20 minutes at room temperature with stocks. That is exactly why I keep an ice wand available as well as an ice bath so I can cool a stock below 60 f in 15 minutes.

I will definitely be doing both the stock and Remouillage from now on. In fact, I'm using the Remouillage for tomorrow night's dinner: Mushroom Bourguignon. Thanks again for this awesome technique.
This was super interesting. I started making my own chicken and beef stocks about a year ago. I make them in a 20qt pot (and sometimes also have an additional 12 qt Dutch oven going). The big different here for me is that I often throw a ton of veggies in just for the nutrients. I’ve got two little kids and sneaking micronutrients in anywhere I can is always a bonus. I ALSO tend to try to use the really gelatinous stuff for everything - soups included. Reason being that I love the mouthfeel AND love knowing everyone is getting all of that extra protein in the form of collagen. Perhaps it’s unnecessary, or maybe. Just a matter of preference.
Definitely gonna try some of the other tricks though…and this fuels my desire for a vacuum sealer
I follow your method, except I do add the celery and garlic. But when I make stock, I use around 20-25lbs of beef bones and cook it outdoors in a large tamale pot on my turkey fryer burner. Another secret I use is about 5lbs of chicken feet for extra gelatin.
When it’s finished, I pressure can in quarts and pints. That way it’s shelf stable and ready without thawing.
Last batch was just over 4 gallons. I am set for the next year.
I made some just like you did. I used chef Jean-Pierre’s recipe. I recently added a quarter quart to some braised beef short ribs and it took the resulting sauce to an entirely different level.
Definitely make this!
Making my own stocks for a few years now, and guys, it really changes everything when you have good stock right at hand in the kitchen.
One of my favorite uses of my chamber sealer is to make flat panels (4 cups each) of stock for the freezer.
I save all my onion skins and vegetable scraps in a freezer bag. Also save all bones from our dinners. When I have enough to make broth, I add all to a huge water canning pot and add some fresh or dried herbs from my garden. Add a couple tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and water to fill the pot. I proceed to simmer this for 48 hours or more, adding water to keep the level up. I then get my jars and lids and pressure canner, and can according to directions, hot pack. Label jars and store in proper rotation. I haven't used a lot of beef bones so I'm very excited to see if I have a local butcher. Thanks for sharing your talents. ❤
Thanx Sonny...I fill regular sized ice cube trays with demi and vacuum seal 1 or 2 cubes together..Man, .you've certainly enriched my life with this stock/demi recipe alone...and in concert with your stroganoff recipe Wow!...I'm 65...been amateur cookin my whole life...thank you much dude...even my asian oyster sauce strongly benefits from using the stock ...its not only the base flavor but the mouthfeel....the collagen of course lends so much to that....both the stock and demi are such a luxury ingredients..
Just want to say, I'm loving this new style of humour you and marcus are doing.
i used a crock pot, 18 hours. ridiculously delicious.. someone send this hero a roll of paper towels! thank you Chef! 🙏🏼👨🍳❤️
Love the passion, wish I had time for this labor of love. Make me appreciate my mom's cooking growing up. She did not skip steps. ❤
One thing I learned a long time ago was when you first add the liquid is to add a tiny amount (1 teaspoon per 5 litres) of apple cider vinegar to help extract the extra collagen and minerals from the bones. Especially when doing chicken foot/neck.
Thank you for this. This is extremely useful and well explained.
I was told that salt prevents the bones from breaking down as well and adding to the stock, and to use a couple glugs of vinegar for the opposite effect....or wine.
I really found this video helpful! I always make chicken stock and freeze in vacuum bags. With various sizes! But I also like containers too since they are reusable. My friend was telling she hates celery in stocks never occurred to me to use leeks instead, let alone blacken the onions first! I've never made beef stock though! I think I'll ask my butcher for any beef bones next Wednesday. I was going to attempt this in my instant pot until you said LOW & SLOW. Either way works for me - I'll try your method first. Thank you!
Would love see you do the same thing for chicken stock. Great stuff.
Big thumbs up for this video!!!
I love making stock, and you give several tricks that I'm going to use from now on! Blackening the onions and leek, I'm gonna try that.
I'm accustomed to tomato paste out of a can but a tube looks way more practical here.
I was always looking for more foamy stuff to take out so there were some stocks where I didn't even skim anything, that's clear now (no pun intended)
The remouillage; I was cooking my bones for 12 hours before throwing in the veggies for another 4. This is a bit more work but having two different stocks instead of one(with the flavor in between those two) is probably worth it.
My tip for everyone is the herb Marjoran. It's delicious. floral, and it goes very well with almost all spices, like thyme and rosemary. I discovered it a few years back and I can't for the life of me understand why I never see anyone using or even mentioning it. When I put it in my beefstock I got so many compliments and questions about that one specific flavor which nobody could identify.
I'm really impressed with this video. I've been studying Ramins, Pho's ,Wor Wontons, Consumes, etc.. online, and this video really good. 😊
Your vids have stepped my cooking game up like 20 notches. Thank you so much! Keep killing it!
That's some sexy slowmo scrapping the good bits in the half sheet tray!
Well done!
particularly Fond of that shot
Sonny, that looks amazing! Kudos to Marcus for his efforts and contributions to these videos! 🙂😋😎❤
i've used tomato paste for stock, but had always caramelized it in a pan, but smearing it ON the meat for that browning is brilliant
This changed a ton for me, thank you Sonny
I am making this right now and our house has smelled crazy good all day with the scent of this amazing stock. Thank you for the amazing tutorial Sonny!
What about blanching your bones before cooking them to remove some of the impurities?
you can do that if you want a really really clean stock, might be a bit overkill for most people but they do that in high end restaurants
If you're making something like Phở or a consommé this works nicely. Mind you, I roast bones for Phở too, and if you keep the stock at a bare simmer and skim it every so often, the clarity ends up wonderful anyway
Thanks brother. Love your channel. Just bought a large stock pot. Looking forward to trying this method.
This is the base of French Oignion Soupe. Once the stock is made, the Soupe doesn't take long, so it's easy for people to assume it's trivial to make. Which it is, if you're on the ball 3 months in advance.
"How do you make this? It's so delicious!"
"Be a good cook 3 months ago"
Dude, your vids are awesome and from a teaching perspective it is one of your best. I make your stuff all the time but i don't have a fridge to kick! Good job man! Good job.
I always use the brush trick so as not to lose an atom of flavour. Great video❤
One of the best video on stock. Thank you
Love it!! If you kept reducing would it eventually be a Demi-glacé?
That’s what he was showing when he reduced some at the end, which Marcus licked off the plate, and which only made a blue icecube worth of Demi glacé. Normally you would reduce quite a bit more to make it worthwhile.
Made a batch of demi with the Christmas prime rib... absolute liquid gold, i didn't even let my kids take aujous home thats how good it was.
Dang, that's when you KNOW it's good!
Thank you!❤❤❤
This is the best beef stock video I have ever seen and I have learned a lot from it. Thank you! Can you please provide a link to the vacuum seal machine you use? Thank you.
I thought I knew how to cook. Now, I am actually learning from a lovely young man who calls himself Dude! Grandma Pat
Amazing and simple. I'm trying this stock this weekend. Probably gonna be my new beef stock from now on.
Is the good burn on the onion and leeks replacing the bitterness of the celery?
I have bought 2 kinds of deli containers from Amazon in the past. I need more, and I'm hoping these are the ones I preferred. I can't tell from looking at the picture, but one kind are a type of hard but very clear plastic - could break if you really tried (least fave, not flexible the way the others are). 2nd kind is very flexible and just slightly opaque. I think that's what these are. If so, they're great.
No matter what stock I'm making, I always add all the brown onion skin I have on hand. Always. Firm rule. That changes the depth of flavor immeasurably. I don't know why, but it's amazing to me.
Sonny is brilliant for the fish imitation. Comic relief 😌.
Sonny you never disappoint. Love your content and you are such an amazing teacher. Great video.
This is one of your top 10 videos !!!
Thanks man. Your videos help.
lol I also can't resist pulling one of those beef plate ribs out when it's ready; a little salt and a brush of my fav bbq sauce -- chef's treat!
Great video. I freeze my stock in the deli the containers then pop out the frozen stock and vacuum seal them . The stock last month’s longer that way.
braise shin low and slow for 6-8 hours, awesome stew. You can clarify with egg whites too on your stock.
Just wanted to drop a line and say I love your channel. You seem like such a regular, approachable dude, so it's refreshing to see genuine people on YT versus all of the made-up personalities and characters. Haven't tried this method for beef stock, but I did do your 24 brisket and it was the best piece of meat I've ever cooked! That technique was incredible, although my energy bill hates you for it! I know I should be asking this in the brisket video, but is there any shortcut or cheat to cutting down the oven cook-time by using a sous vide, which is more energy efficient?
Peace and Love To All, Jiiu ✌🏻
Thanks dude. Greatly appreciated.
Nice job, I love stock videos. Have you tried instant pot tonkatsu broth? it cuts the time down to like 4 hrs and it's just as good.
This was simple and I bet, delicious! I can't wait. My last batch of bones... something went wrong. We all got sick!
Great recipe! About the fat: use it as a substitute for butter on your next slice of bread. I've made a similar broth, using deer bones. They came as 3€ per 1kg.
“I can’t believe i spent over 17 minutes watching and paying very intense attention to this video…wait, yes I do”! I’m a passionate home cook😁🙌🏽this video is gravy gold❤Thank you❤
Great information!!!! Thanks!!!
Yaya. Thanks s lot Dude! Seriously.. Thank You.
I don't ever have beef bones , so , I am always making chicken or vegetable stock usually , but , I do love a good beef stock .
Use a fine mesh sieve/ladle to skim the scum. They're available at Chinese grocery stores. They look like a shallow ladle with a very fine mesh. A fine mesh ladle will remove scum without picking up much of your stock. If you want to make a super stock in the future, keep your remouillage in the freezer to start your next stock. A stock that is started with a prior remouillage is yet another increment elevated from a stock that was started with water.
I put my demiglace in icecube trays. I love my chamber vac for things with fluidity.
I wish i had yours kitchen products.
Thank you for Sharing
"It's like a shadow of a boil." Excellent metaphor, dude. I'm in!
I've never heard of a Remouillage but honestly it makes so much sense. Definitely going to try it out 👍
First time viewer. I really enjoy your ptesentation style. Thank you.
You can also freeze dry the sauce into a powder for longer, easier storage.
4:00 vietnamese pho uses that technique too
Coming from Turkey I can say charred food can taste way better than seared until brown
I melt my fat from the sheet tray and from the top (after cold resting) in a takeout container in the microwave until remelted. When room temp, I use my board scraper to cut a grid in the semi solid fat right to the bottom, then just pop the whole thing in my freezer. Instant fat chunks for the best pancakes, fried rice, eggs, etc.
I cook the vegetables and meat in separate pots, then add them together at the end. This lets me make twice as much at a time, about 24 quarts. I re-run the bones through a pressure cooker for two hours, and add that as well. I don't have enough room in my freezer, so I can the stock and keep it for months.
Burnt, black onions are the bomb. Whenever I do stovetop fried potatoes I chop up some onion, throw it in the skillet with the taters, and fry until the onions are basically black and crispy. 😅.
I can only imagine using that for a ramen starter. Amazing, good job!
Excellent..TY!!
That flat bag will thaw in about 20 mins if you put it on your aluminum baking sheet. Great trick. Wish I'd learned it years ago. Magic word in "aluminum"
One thing I was always taught with stocks is to keep it out of the danger zone = 40 - 140 f for more than 1.5 hours it is spoiled because of bacteria growth in fact your chances of food poisoning doubles within 20 minutes at room temperature with stocks. That is exactly why I keep an ice wand available as well as an ice bath so I can cool a stock below 60 f in 15 minutes.
I honestly thought the video was over when you froze 😂
