Default Beef Broth reduction

I got up at 5:15 AM yesterday and had nothing to do. I buy bone-in sirloin
steaks at my supermarket and cut out the bones and fat before cooking and
chuck the bones, any excess meat and fat into the freezer.
I took out the scraps, defrosted them in the microwave and roasted them at
400F for forty minutes. Then I threw them in an eight quart stockpot and got
this minus the onion.

Then I simmered and reduced the concoction for seven hours and ended up with
this.
<https://postimg.cc/1n1wfLCX>

I´m planning on making beef stew using one of the containers and freezing
the other. I wonder what it will taste like? I hope that it´s better than
"Better Than Bouillon", but I like BtB for stew, so we´ll see. The stew
will definitely need salt, because the reduction has little.

When you make your stew with your reduction be sure and post your results.

Looks good but it puzzles me why you cut the bones out from the meat?
I find meat cooked on the bone is always sweeter.

I'm sure you do, but your opinion is not borne out by science:

They have their opinion, I have mine. Once bought a prime rib de
boned as it was at an advantageous price, did not taste in any way the
same. I see they have a recipe for red wine cooked prime rib,
although I like red wine in cooking, never with prime rib - that cut
of beef has wonderful flavour all its own if you have a good palate.

I do not like that Mexican style food that is just plain hot but not
particularly flavour full like an Indian curry and have wondered in
recent years if that has made my taste buds more sensitive than
someone who eats all the hot peppers etc.

Granted. But nobody's going to fund a proper double-blind test to see if
meat is sweeter nearer the bone.

That is hardly logical... why go through that whole rigamarole, if
making stew leave the meat on the bones, brown and simmer on low until
the meat falls off the bones, remove the bones and skim off the fat.
At some point while simmering add seasonings, herbs, and towards the
end add veggies so they don't over cook.

I cook stews all the time, all kinds, I never go through all that
rediculousness. And an 8 quart pot is really too small to make a real
stew... a 12 quart pot offers room to add stuff without liquid
slopping over... I never fill a pot to the tippy top... thats a sure
sign of slovenly cooking... and I'm not about to spend all those hours
to end up with a mini stew, gotta plan on left overs to freeze for
another meal.

Those pictures don't show any stew... they actually show nice plastic
containers, and something I'd feed to the critters, but more likely to
the trash can.

I never think of meat being sweet, except for certain female parts.

I've always been suspicious of this widely held opinion. It just doesn't

Taste sweeter? Not so much, but sometimes the texture seems a bit
better. That could be a function of the heat transfer from the bone.
OTOH, in the case of a T-bone steak the one side is more tender and it
can be the illusion from eating the tenderloin from the bone.

Just like taking Placebos, the prescription strength is better.

Bi-valve meat is often sweetish, like from oysters... Oyster dressing
is kind of sweet. Hot women love to watch me slurp raw oysters on the
half shell, all that opalescent wet nacre gives them salatious
ideas... I can always tell by how their thighs spread to the outer
limits of the bar stools.

It's an expression. The word "sweet" is used because it rhymes.

It doesn't mean "sweet" in the sense of sugary. If anything, it's the
old meaning of "sweet": pleasing in general; delightful.

Looks good!

I made a gallon of Vegetable broth today and turned 1/2 into a 'hot
pot' garlicy broth which is mixed at serving with steamed goodies.

Sheldon, you claim to be a 'cook' but you utterly fail here. You don't
have the basics of a good broth, possibly because it all came as cans
and powders in the Navy and today in a can or box.

Yeah! Like he missed the post was about a happy deep *broth* that
later will possibly be used for a stew!

That is a very nice looking beef broth. Small batch yes, but he's not
feeding 20 people at a shot (or pretending to).

Imagine! 2 of us post about broth making in one day and Sheldon gets
it all wrong....

I would have cheated and hit it with some Kitchen Bouquet or Gravymaster.

It looks like Sheldon's cooking. I guess all y'all are roughly the
same age and ethnic background.

Cindy mentioned the Kitchen Bouquet. I have a thirty year old bottle of it
somewhere. It´s what my Mom used to cheat with, and I still have the bottle
somewhere (I think) :-). I hadn´t heard of the other methods including
onion skins. I will try to remember them the next time I take the time to do
the reduction.

I used to have one of those bottles of Kitchen Bouquet. Perhaps my mom bought it. It was some pretty scary stuff because only god knew what was in that ancient bottle with the rusty cap. It was a product that was too scary to use so I never did.

These days I use dark Chinese soy sauce. I use it for most Chinese style dishes and anywhere some color is needed. It requires some restraint and sometimes I go a little overboard.

People who know how to cook roast meaty bones for deeper color... soy
sauce tastes nothing like beef... soy sauce tastes mostly of salt.

Jesus, you're timid. Grow a pair.

Kitchen Bouquet is mainly caramel coloring:

Caramel color (sulfites), water, vegetable base (water, carrots, celery, cabbage, onion, parsley, turnips, parsnips), Less than 2% of: spices, salt, sodium benzoate as a preservative.

And here are the ingredients for Aloha soy sauce:

WATER, WHEAT GLUTEN, SALT, SUGAR, SOYBEANS, CARAMEL COLORING, AND SODIUM BENZOATE, A PRESERVATIVE.

Hardly a recommendation, because that's one of the bad soy sauces.

I use dark soy sauce for color, not for a beefy flavor. People who know anything about Asian cooking already knows that.
