Why It Works
  • The combination of beef or lamb bones, vegetables, and herbs creates a rich and flavorful broth.
  • Roasting the bones before adding them to the pot gives the broth a deeper flavor.
  • Simmering the broth for 12-24 hours allows the flavors to develop and deepen.
  • Straining the broth through a fine-mesh sieve removes any impurities and gives the broth a smooth texture.
