Instructions

  1. Slowly brown the beef bones in the margarine in a large saucepan over medium heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. It doesn`t brown the chicken bones.
  2. Add the water and the rest of the ingredients. With the pot open, simmer gently for 3 to 4 hours, repeatedly skimming off the foam that forms on the surface.
  3. Remove the bones and vegetables and pour the stock through a sieve. Put in a cool place and scoop the fat off the surface beforehand.
  4. Both stocks develop the best taste when left to rest for 24 hours. Then use as needed.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
