Broth Preparation
- 1
Roasting the Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the beef bones on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes until browned. In the last 10 minutes, add the whole onion (halved) and ginger (sliced) to the baking sheet to roast.

Simmering the Broth
In a large pot, combine the roasted bones, onion, ginger, water, star anise, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a low simmer. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface. Simmer for at least 4 hours, adding water as needed to keep the bones submerged.

Finishing the Broth
