Ingredients

  • 1 kg Meat, beef, dried beef

  • 2 spoons Oil, vegetable oil, canola

  • 1 piece Carrot, fresh

  • 1 piece Green, raw

  • 1 piece Tomato, red

  • 1 piece Onion, raw

  • 1 pod Garlic, fresh

  • 3 twigs Parsley, fresh

  • 1 piece Spices, bay (leaves)

  • 2 spoons Tomato sauce, without salt

  • 1 teaspoon Spices, pepper, white

  • 125 ml Alcohol, Wine, Red

Steps

  1. Thoroughly wash the bones and dry them with paper towels. Place a larger and wider pot on the stove and heat the oil. Roast the bones in the heated fat, turning them several times so they lightly brown on all sides.

  2. Pour a ladle of hot water to dilute the roasting residue, then continue roasting until the water evaporates. Meanwhile, crush the peppercorns in a mortar. Wash, clean, and peel the celery, carrot, and tomato, then cut them into pieces. Peel the onion and garlic, wash them, and roughly chop them. Thoroughly wash the parsley and shake it dry.

  3. Add all the ingredients to the pot, including the bay leaf, and roast while stirring until the vegetables slightly brown.

  4. Add the tomato paste and crushed peppercorns and roast for another 5 minutes. Pour in the wine to dilute the roasting residue and wait for the liquid to evaporate. Then add another 2 liters of hot water to dilute the residue again. Simmer on low heat for at least 2 hours (with the pot uncovered for at least one hour), occasionally skimming off the foam with a spoon (skimmer).

  5. Once the base is cooked, strain it through a fine sieve. Then wait at least half an hour for it to cool well so you can remove the fat. The prepared meat base can be added to various (meat) dishes.
