Ingredients: 2 lbs beef bones. 1 onion, quartered. 2 carrots, chopped. 2 celery stalks, chopped. 4 cloves garlic, smashed. 2 tablespoons tomato paste. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 1 teaspoon salt. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. 1 teaspoon dried thyme. 1 bay leaf. 8 cups water.
Instructions: Get the oven ready by heating it up to 400F 200C. Put the beef bones on a baking sheet and roast them for 30 minutes, turning them over once. Put olive oil in a big pot and heat it over medium-low heat. Put in the garlic, onion, carrots, and celery. Cook the vegetables in oil until they get soft. Add the tomato paste and stir it in. Cook for two more minutes. Salt, black pepper, thyme, bay leaf, roasted beef bones, and water should all be added to the pot. Once the mixture starts to boil, turn down the heat. Leave the lid off and let it simmer for two to three hours. Remove any foam that forms on top. Use a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to strain the broth into a different pot or large bowl. Throw away the solids and add more salt and pepper to the broth if you think it needs it. As a comforting and tasty roasted beef broth, serve it hot.
