Food Wishes Recipes - How to Make Beef Stock - Classic Beef Stock Recipe

[iBag3l]

Does no one appreciate how he ninja'd that bayleaf into the pot?

[Shenten]

And NO MSG! YAY! Just was able to get some beef bones from my local grocer. I understand it's not optimal like grass-fed, but I think the other benefits are very worth it! Thanks for the tutorial! I've already made a great chicken stock, and am in the middle of making a vegi stock right now. I'll be trying beef stock next!

[PennyDreadfuI]

My dogs' favorite day of the month is Stock Sunday.

[VidalesJorge]

Ohh yes, grass fed cattle do taste a lot better, but my favorites are the ones that are raised here, with grass, wild berries, palms, datiles, tea like leafs, and slowly raised..... just magnificent.

[Metsada007]

Is it wiser to make beef stock instead of chicken stock? I know you can make both, but which would be used more often in recipes?

[daeastruction95]

how do you eliminate the fat though?

[dano76050]

thanks for your video. Just bought a side of beef and wanted to know what to do with the bones befor i gave them to my dogs. Thanks again!

[Kermista]

8-12 hours? Wow! That's too long and would dry up my gas tank here in Malaysia! Which is kind of expensive. How about doing those hours in a slow cooker? That be OK?

[leonhardtz5]

@Kermista As long as you can get it to simmer properly, it shouldn't be a problem. Sometimes slow cookers are a pain. Pretty much anything that can simmer the stock will work. You could even use a small fire, if you felt like it. lol

[Kermista]

@leonhardtz5 Thanks for the tips! I have a slow cooker in my kitchen, I think I'll use it..

[ShanelK]

@Kermista I realize I'm replying 6 months late, but yes, it's totally okay. Just make sure th e slow cooker is big enough.

[wendighoul]

Just started making my own stock recently, have been doing mostly poultry (chicken, cornish hen) but this looks like a great way to make beef stock. I remember when my mother used to get free bones from the butcher "for the dog" and take them home to make stock, those were the days. One final point, not only does homemade stock taste better, but it is WAAAAAAY lower in sodium (provided you don't add too much when you're making it).

[Karmara7]

Thumbs up for Grass-fed beef.

[TanJianWei92]

THUMBS UP ON 0:25 !!!

On the left ! XDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[ilovefood596]

i love to see how you make instead of watching porn.

[Kardall]

@JPFranklin14 There is no replacement for your own beef stock. Knowing what is in it, and not all the preservatives is what makes it actually taste better.

[MsSkye1489]

@Kardall well said.

[vegasrenie]

I really like this recipe. Basic without a lot of fancy stuff done to it. Although I think that more time is needed to simmer, lol.

[thatbastardson]

got a bunch of shrimp heads, from a shrimp special. need a shrimp stock recipe. somebody help.

[Quillons1]

@thatbastardson just boil them. Let it reduce by a quarter or to whatever flavor intensity you want.

[litlemissflirt]

Thanks I'm going to try this.

[pepeelromano1]

I've just been told by three different butchers that "you don't get beef bones nowadays" and they didn't know where I could get them! This can't be true as every recipe for beef stock uses them.

[stalkingcat123]

@pepeelromano1 thats the point of beef stock, no bones its not beef stock its veggatable stock

[Aprilshowersss]

@pepeelromano1 you have spoken to 3 retarded butchers. A butcher cuts the meat and therefor can provide you with bones if they wish.

Another option if you still cant find a butcher with half a brain is you can save bones from ribs, and boned steaks and keep them in the freezer until you have a few saved up. Then you can make stock from those. Thats usually how I do it anyway.

Once ina while though i go to the nice butcher in the city and get some bison bones and make bison stock. its amazing

[vegasrenie]

@Aprilshowersss Good points. I live in a community that has a lot of ethnic markets, and I can get beef feet, shin bones and tendons (adds that wonderful gelatinous texture when it chills), oxtails, ribs, and more. I found that after making homemade stock just once years ago (now it's regular), that I couldn't even stomach the storebought stuff any more. There's absolutely no comparison.

[moosey62]

Just now having my first go at a demi-glace. Man, it's a lot of work but I love cooking.

This kind of thing is a definite step up for me from stir fries and pasta sauces.

Got the idea from Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles Cookbook, but this vid is essentially the same.

Nice upload, thanks very much. Very helpful.

[diegovr94]

in my house we usually make our stock in the pressure cooker, the result: a stock with very concentrate flavor, amazing color, and in just 40 minutes.

[chandramichael]

10 hourss?oh boy

[vegasrenie]

@chandramichael I use that as a minimum! The best stock simmers (very, very slowly) on the back burner for 12-24 hours. You can't be in a hurry, lol.

[AlcoholLevel]

grass-fed beef is overrated and a waste of money.  just use the regular beef, just as good.

[TheJmacaroni]

@AlcoholLevel how about the toxins in the cheap, genetically modified factory corn that we feed most animals, that run through their bloodstream and are absorbed by every single cell?

[rickcoona]

@TheJmacaroni i guess you cant read it said GRASS FED BEEF!

not"gmo feedlot corn fed beef get a life ya sound like a vegan

--Rick

[TheJmacaroni]

@rickcoona I guess you cant read that i was REPLYING to somebody. Oh, and by the way vegans don't eat meat. Clean yourself up, get out of your mom's basement, and do something with yourself, besides yelling at random people on the internet.

[JoyeuseXI]

@TheJmacaroni I hate when people worry SO much about what they put into their bodies. The beef you get from the grocery store is fine. It's like the people who constantly worry about getting Cancer, if you spend your whole life worrying about hurting yourself then you won't have much of a life, and you'll probably end up getting hurt anyway.

[xxxdids]

i make this a lot at home and find it to be a big hit with my friends at the finished result ,i also add 1 bottle of port and a bottle of Merlot to it and reduce it down and before pouring over a big fat t bone steak i add a knob of butter to give it a nice sheen to it.

[jakamneziak]

how long does this stock keep for?

[angeluscorpius]

@D0nQuix0te

I'm quite sure Chef John and any other person trying this recipe was not sitting by the stove for 10 hrs staring at the pot.

I'd use my slow-cooker which is pretty much fuss-free, at a low setting.

And even if you need to keep an eye on the stove, you can be doing something else. Like your tax returns. And wondering if fire insurance is a deductible. :-)

[Punkylolita]

Mmmmmmmmm~ beef bones :D

[pearlhusky]

i think even it takes a lot of time and you might be getting expensive gas bill at the end of the month, but... this will be WAYYY healthier than anything you get from stores. at least you know you are the one who cooked it, and you cooked it with materials you bought, so for health, i really woulnt mind those 10 hrs cooking. :)

[adinace]

I was thinking of Pho too,lol

[D0nQuix0te]

10 hours to cook something??? I don't care how good it taste..Cheaper??? Wait til you get your gas bill.

[Punkylolita]

@D0nQuix0te lool true, i prefer just buying beef stock :X much cheaper lol.

[D0nQuix0te]

@Punkylolita I'm sorry investing that much time on something you can't even eat as a meal is insane. This was one he could have left out. I mean people do have lives. Also, think of all the stupid people out there trying to do this and end up burning down their house.

[cowandchicken]

@D0nQuix0te my friend-

some people spend 10 hours on a sunday playing video games

some people spend 10 hours on sunday watching tv

if cooking is not a serious hobby of yours, then i wouldn't recommend trying to understand this, but for some people this sort of thing is fun. That's all. No need to get excited

[NiceyNiceGuyMike]

Would this be good for Pho?

[panhead88]

@NiceyNiceGuyMike My opinion, no. this stock is a general purpose stock, pho is totally different. Try searching on how to make pho stock. Different ingredients, but both use beef bones and marrow.

[catlord98765]

nice i need a few stock recipies :)

[shifttradition]

how long will this last in the fridge after its made? i never know so i usually freeze my home made stock.

[oldrockmustard]

great!

[oldrockmustard]

great!

[Garunnu]

Fishstock = no tomatopaste or gralic. simmer for 45minutes to an hour.

Chicken = 4 hours same as beef stock.

Wild/Game = 8-10 hours same as beef stock, depends on the thickness on your bones (size of animal)

if you simmer too long you end up getting the gelatinous proteins in the bones and your stock will be grumsy, if thats a word, and might become bitter.

Fishstock should never simmer more than 1 hour, same for shellfish.

[Zergerz1]

@Garunnu Fishstock shouldn't be simmered that long, 20 mins is enough or else your stock will go cloudy because the fishbones are too delicate.

[lpka]

Hey JOHN, i love the recipe, but could you tell me HOW LONG can I keep the stock in my JAR and in my refrigerator . (would it last for a week)

Thanks

Keep up with good recipes, even if they are small.

[twish1999]

Fabulous!

:-)

[TheVittleVlog]

Very, very helpful. Thanks!

[ARabidPigeon]

This is the kind thing you do to impress your significant other. I can't imagine cooking for 10 hours. Thanks though Chef John for your video.

[bubblewrapmonkey]

what did you do with the vegetables after?

[Chantzehao]

@bubblewrapmonkey

I would assume you throw them out...or whatever is left of em...boiling for so long tends to reduce them to nothing (the celery and onions anyways)

[jpx7x]

what type of dishes use beef stock?

[robertlewis2002]

I always recipes that say add herbs and such while cooking. I have never understood that so I always season after making the stock. It was good to hear him say he does the same as it makes me realize that I'm doing the right thing.

[FUZ3TTE]

OH OH OH, Chicken stock next?

/puppyeyes

[Antiks72]

Got some prime rib bones from easter dinner. I'm gonna make a prime rib soup with the left overs, and it's gonna be super sexy.

[panhead88]

"cheaper" maybe the ingredients would be cheaper, but what about time, effort and electricity or for 8hrs-12 hrs. not trying to be a smart ass, I make stock all the time..

[D0nQuix0te]

@panhead88 thank you, thank you, thank you...this video really ticked me off. Who has time to do this. Very well said my friend, very well said.

[panhead88]

@D0nQuix0te Thank you for your kind comment.

Who has the time to do it? Well, alot of people, food lovers, and chefs. Some people would actually dedicate themselves to cook stock because of the flavour it has. stock can be very delicious. Some people that work 9-5pm obviously dont have time to do this, and they opt for the already made powdered cubes. Every one is different and have different lifestyles. Yes people have lives but what about the people who dedicate their lives to food? :)

[Bloodius]

@panhead88 because two out of those three things you listed have no monetary definition.

[chyrd]

@panhead88 can you compare your homemade stock with store bought?

[ShatterEffectt]

1 gallon of stock is a lot though... that'd be like $50 for a good quality store bought stock (a gallon worth)

[zzllooFTW]

beef on the left side looks like a penis

[shamwife]

i bet you could do that in the crockpot

[robertlewis2002]

@shamwife do it all the time

[JM111787]

My food wish is to learn how to make pasta noodles from scratch

[bnz500]

I showed my dad this video because he always insists on boiling his stock! Very frustrating. Thanks!

[fightclub179]

you are the man!!! your cooking is the best!

[Melohhdee]

Chef, would this also work with a crock pot on low?

[jungenbum]

"And as always... enjoy!" Cheers!

[finchiestiffler79]

you should have brushed the tomato paste on the roasted bones then roast again to achieve a brownish color not redish like the tomato paste.

[ForceOfWizardry]

8-12 hours!? I usually simmer my beef stock for an hour, and it tastes pretty good to me. 8-12 hours sounds serious! Maybe i would do this for some cooking competition, that's all!!

[ja7d33]

@ForceOfWizardry

[Danny19921125]

What is beef stocks for in the jar?

[calisali]

im ready to use!!

[emilioTOMASbarca]

8-12 hours? lol

id rather use knor cubes lol

[y35n00b5]

what about chicken?

[Voodooray007]

@y35n00b5 For chicken stock. follow the recipe, just throw out the beef bones and tomato paste. add chicken bones. that's it.

[Garunnu]

@Voodooray007 and only simmer for 4hrs

[Voodooray007]

@Garunnu Oh yeah, I missed that part. Thanks.

[McPfoot]

tasty, tasty murder.

[ludoludo80]

I'm vegetarian ...but I think ,you are the best!!!!!

[FuriousPumpkin]

a good tip for people on a budget. Go to a grocery store and ask for bones for your dog. They'll give you bones a little cheaper than if you said that you're asking for bones for stock. A butcher is less likely to give you a discount because bones will be in higher demand.

[loupremo]

is it ok to just drink the stock?

[recoil53]

@loupremo Yes, make it stronger though. If clarified, it would be called a consume.

[skopered]

he forgot leeks plus beef stock is the basic if u ever want to make a real sauce youll need either demi glace, estouffade, or white veal stock so this is a good way to learn how to make a clean flavorful stock

[igotwhips]

cheaper? Bones alone in store are about $2-4 for what he has. maybe a dollar for veggies. But then the time and cost of energy is a factor. A swanson can is about a dollar

[RPGclassics]

@igotwhips

Swanson huh? I guess you eat Ramen Noodles & Pot Pies all the time as well. This is REAL stock, not some major brand of flavored "beef water".

[athankfulslave]

10 hrs? you must be kidding me right? i'd rather buy in store man. anyway nice recipe.

[GotKn1fe]

@athankfulslave Good food takes time to make

[hotdrumchick]

@GotKn1fe Indeed it does! (For the most part.)

[wl03bu]

omg, way too much work for me!

[hekasoram]

after you make it you use for what?

[Migami]

@hekasoram

You can use it for a soup or just to make the taste of a food better (for example, i use it for Chicken Pot Pie)

[recoil53]

@hekasoram Soups, stews & braises, and sauces.

Beef pot pie is a stew encased in a crust.

Anything where you would taste the liquid a lot would be improved by this. A vegetable beef soup will taste much beefier (and better) with this instead of the canned stuff.

Cook this down a bit and when you are done pan frying a steak, toss in some chopped shallots and garlic. Pour in some of the more concentrated stock and maybe some red wine. Scrape the pan a bit. Maybe finish with some butter. Sauce.

[myemeraldmind]

that sounds good boy do i need a good stew

[hisgermansunshine]

Can you make a homemade vegetable stock next??

[ThomasBaluWalter]

@hisgermansunshine Just don't add the bones and you got vegetable stock ;-)

[RPGclassics]

When are you gonna make "baby cow juice" stock video?

[duckmanx88]

@RPGclassics vegetarian loser

[RPGclassics]

@duckmanx88

vegetarian??? huh???

[bibbeny]

@RPGclassics That's just mean. Funny , but mean.

[RPGclassics]

@bibbeny

watch his "Sherry Braised Beef Short Ribs Recipe" & you'll understand why I said it.

[enjoYlv]

8-12 Hr O__________O

[liarsclub75]

I enjoy making my own stock with beef marrow bones, though I have been taking out the marrow after I roast the bones because I thought it would make the stock too greasy.

[Sorgutentarer]

What's this thing you call "erbs"? :)

[sarahfromcasa]

Always amazing videos chef john, me and my boyfriend always watch ur videos and we did a lot of ur recipes :D keep it up, u rock

<3 Sarah

[sausage4mash]

could i do this in my slow cooker ?

[recoil53]

@sausage4mash

[fooddpanda]

I had a question did you already have a recipe with chest nuts? although it's not the season but maybe I can find it in your earlier recipes?

[SexyBibliophile]

This is culinary school classic. Nice video, Chef John.

[EbolaV1rus]

Great video! I think I will pressure can some this year, will sure be nice for soups, rice and gravies!

Another great use for beef marrow that I would like to share is, after the bones have been browned in the oven, they can be cracked open and the marrow can be fed to infants, or invalids. I fed it to all 3 of my children when they were babies and they loved it! ( I mixed it with mashed veggies)

God Bless.

[Hyperpulsehammer]

What do you do with the leftover veggies after you're done with the stock?

[recoil53]

@Hyperpulsehammer Throw it away - the flavor and nutritional value are cooked out into the stock.

[lausiej]

BTW. my food wish is how to make lasanga!!

[ramenx2]

@TheBeardOfSpock

Uhmm first of all, your spelling and grammar is "direct shit" so step up the quality or don't post at all.

Second Chef John can do whatever he likes since he's not profiting off these videos (besides youtube ads); he's not charging you anything to watch his videos so if you don't like the quality then go to Zimbabwe and fuck yourself.

Thanks and have a wonderful day.

[TheBeardOfSpock]

@ramenx2 Your trolling sucks :D <3

[crisis376]

@ramenx2 I think you owned him. Kudos.

[Voodooray007]

@ramenx2 thank you thank you thank you! straight to the point.

[gurraglad]

@ramenx2 I personally doubt Chef John wants people like you posting either, so you may both just quit complaining and just watch the dang vid.

Nice recipe as always.

[soappop]

@ramenx2 get a life

[sarahfromcasa]

@TheBeardOfSpock you're such a jerk :)

[therealbatman1990]

you are a tit.

[therealbatman1990]

@TheBeardOfSpock you are a tit.

[lausiej]

nica ive been looking for this recipe

[lausiej]

@lausiej *Nice

[lambokun]

i love your videos

[fleaOWNS]
