Soup bones can be used to make a variety of dishes, including soups, stocks, broths, and bone broth. Here are some ideas for what to do with soup bones:
-
Beef Stew: Use beef soup bones to make a classic beef stew. Simply add the bones to a large pot with water and let them simmer for 1-3 hours. Add vegetables and other seasonings to flavor the stew to your liking.
-
Pho or Ramen: Beef soup bones can also be used to make pho or ramen. These soups require a longer cooking time, so simmer the bones for several hours to extract the maximum flavor.
-
Beef Stock: Roast the beef bones first to get some caramelized flavor going, then slowly heat them in water until a bare simmer, and let them cook that way, gently, for a good long time. With beef stock, it helps to include some beef scraps or stew meat, as well as aromatic vegetables and herbs. Also, a few veal bones will help provide gelatin to the stock.
-
Bone Broth: Bone broth can be made with beef bones, pork bones, chicken bones, or a mix of all of them. It can also be flavored simply, with just a handful of vegetables, or it can be spiced up with ingredients like fresh ginger, lemongrass, fish sauce, and dried mushrooms. Bone broth should be cooked for a minimum of 12 hours, although a richer, thicker stock is achieved with 24 to 48 hours.
-
Other Recipes: Some other ideas for using beef soup bones include making gravy from the broth and adding shredded beef from the bones to serve over mashed potatoes, or making a batch of beef vegetable soup. You can also use bone broth to make a variety of dishes, such as pho, ramen, beef stew, or your favorite soup.
Overall, soup bones are a versatile ingredient that can be used to add flavor and nutrition to a variety of dishes.
