Ashley: Beef Stock

Sorry gals for being so delayed in getting my beef broth completed and posted. I made the beef broth this past weekend and used short ribs and oxtails that I had picked up from the Asian market. I roasted the bones and then made the broth by adding onions studded with a few cloves, carrots, celery, garlic cloves, peppercorns and bouquet garni. The stock definitely took time to develop the right flavor and did need occasionally salting. After 5-6 hours of simmering it did taste fabulous though. I do have to say that there was a good amount of skimming to do and you can see from the picture that I probably could have done a bit more. This stock seemed much more greasy than chicken stock that I've made in the past. I took the stock and made some pho, which was very easy and tasty! Thanks for the challenge!
