    8 pounds rib roast bone, 3 carrots, 2 celery stalks, 1 onion, 4 garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 10 cups water
  • Bring the stock up to a boil for 10 minutes. Then reduce to medium-low heat for 2 hours.
  • Remove off the heat, let the stock cool completely. Strain out the bones and vegetables. Divide the stock in half and store in freezer safe containers. Use right away or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Veggies - If you don't want the cooked veggies to go to waste use them for a vegetable beef soup.
  • Cooling - Always make sure your stock is cooled to room temp before storing.
  • Freeze the Bone - Every time you eat a cut of beef with a bone, save it in a bag in the freezer until you have enough to make stock.
  • Yield - This recipe yields 8 cups of stock.
