Broth Base
Clarifying Mixture
Method
Preparing the Broth
- 1
Roasting the Bones
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the beef bones on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 30-40 minutes until they are browned.
- 2
Simmering the Broth
In a large pot, combine the roasted beef bones, water, whole carrots, celery stalks, onion (quartered), garlic cloves (smashed), bay leaves, black peppercorns, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low and let simmer for 4-6 hours, skimming off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.
- 3
Straining the Broth
After simmering, remove the pot from heat and strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into another pot. Discard the solids and allow the broth to cool.
Clarifying the Broth

Preparing the Clarifying Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, ground beef, water, and lemon juice. Mix well until combined.

Clarifying the Broth
Place the strained broth back on the heat and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the clarifying mixture to the pot, stirring gently. Allow it to simmer for about 30 minutes without stirring.

Straining Again
After 30 minutes, remove the pot from heat and strain the broth again through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth. This will leave you with a clear consomme.
