Instructions
Preheat and prepare bones
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Arrange the beef marrow bones on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
Pro tip: Roasting the bones enhances the soup's flavour.
Roast bones
Roast the bones for 30 minutes, turning once, until they are browned and fragrant.
Pro tip: Ensure the bones are evenly spaced for even roasting.
Prepare vegetables
In a large pot, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Pro tip: Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Combine and simmer
Add the roasted bones to the pot along with water, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 2.5 hours.
Pro tip: Occasionally skim off any foam or fat that rises to the surface.
Strain and season
Remove bones and strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into another pot. Season with salt to taste.
Pro tip: Press down on the solids in the sieve to extract more flavour.
Serve
Serve hot, with the marrow scooped out and spread on toast if desired.
Pro tip: Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal experience.
Tips & Tricks
- Roast the bones first to deepen flavour.
- Simmer slowly for a rich broth.
- Use a ladle to skim fat for a clearer soup.
