3-4 lbs beef trimmings, cut into small chunks
1 onion thickly sliced
1/2 cup red wine
10 cup water
2 carrots
1 rib celery
2 clove garlic
2 bay leaf
5 peppercorns
3 whole cloves
sprig fresh rosemary
sprig fresh thyme
1 tsp salt.

2 clove garlic
2 bay leaf
5 peppercorns
3 whole cloves

sprig fresh thyme
1 tsp salt.
- Roast the scraps in a 400F oven until nice and brown. This could take up to an hour.
- Bring the water and wine to a gentle boil and add the roasted scraps, the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, herbs and salt.
- Bring back to a boil, the turn down and simmer for 3-4 hours. If you want to broth to be clear, remove any foam that develops on the surface. This foam is just denatured protein a bit like egg white. If you don't remove it, it will eventually break back down into the liquid and will make it cloudy.
- Allow to cool, then refrigerate to remove the layer of fat floating on top (which can be used for cooking).
- Strain to remove the scraps, vegetables and herbs, then return the liquor to a simmer and reduce as you see fit (could I do this in a slow cooker?)
