Hally's beef stock in a PC

[Halex]

Yes, I make it in my pc. Think
Ican do it wirh my eyes clsed nw

Ok gf

Beef bones, about 5 or 6

Turn pc on to brown, add a little rice bran oil
Cook bones until brown  each side.

Add 2 onions & 2 carrots chopped in TM
Water to just cover bones, in pc water doesnt evaporate
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup red wine
1tsp black peppercorns
Herbs of choice & garlic if desired
Small bunch of bay leaves, cook on high pressure for 1 hour

I dont add garlic or herbs apart from bay leaves.

You could do this for 4-5 hours on the stovetop.

Cool in fridge overnight, skim layer of fat off & use or freezer

Result, rich tasty stock

Is that Alton Browns recipe Hally?
It's the one I use and a lovely stock with good flavour.
He uses oxtails or beef shanks instead of just bones but the rest is the same.

Sorry MF, no idea  who Alton Brown is?

Its based on what my mum used to do n her dancing pc.

He is a chef Hallyand his recipe is exactly the same apart from the meat.
He also adds star anise and other Asian spice when he is making Asian style food.
I have been using it for ages now.
I agree with you it's a great stock

Just googled him, no idea where mum got it from but I doubt this guy as he was born the same year as me.

Mum always  added herbs from the veg patch & garlic, I dont as I add them in when cooking as per what I choose to do.

She also did a chicken stock the same but using white wine for her casseroles.

I will try putting some asian spices in to ake an asian broth, good one

[Mama Fergie]

Maybe he got it from your mum Hally LOL. 
I guess all the ingredients just make a good stock.
My gran made similar but didn't use wine. She used celery, carrots as well as all the other ingredients.
I think the wine adds more flavour.
My mum used the same as my gran and both made a great chicken soup.
Mum was and still is a very basic not very good cook but my gran was a very good plain food cook.
Would recommend this stock to anyone.

My mum wasnt a good cook, but once a year a french chief who married my cousin, (cousins 20 years plus older than me), used to stay & he would whip up amazing food. He was a head chef in one of the top hotels in the carribean & he used to help mum cook, I think he gave her some good bases for things & she just stumbled  around from there. She woukd make a few good deserts shen ne was around, then it was back to rice pudding, lemon bud etc. He would be in his 70's now, they live in Bordeau, i speak to my cousin occasionally.
