Beef stock
INGREDIENTS
Makes about 6 cups.
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
• 900 g stewing beef, such as shanks, cut in 25
mm cubes
• 450 g beef bones
• 8 cups water
• 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
• 1 large carrot, scraped and coarsely chopped
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt to taste
• 6 peppercorns or 1/4 teaspoon ground black
pepper
• 1 celery stalk, coarsely chopped
• 2 sprigs parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
METHOD
Brown the meat in a little oil in a pot or frying
pan (the meat should still be raw in the middle).
Remove and place on a platter. Drain off
any excess fat. Add the meat and remaining
ingredients to the pressure cooker. Lock the
lid in place, select soup setting and adjust
time (see below). When cooking is complete,
remove the lid and strain by pouring it through
a strainer which has been lined with a couple
of layers of damp cheesecloth. Press with
the back of a wooden spoon to extract as
much liquid as possible. Cool, then refrigerate
overnight and remove any congealed fat that
has collected on the surface.
