1. Place the stew meat, beef bones, salt, and peppercorns in a large pot.
2. Pour in 3 quarts water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
3. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 3 to 4 hours.
4. Skim the froth off the surface with a spoon.
5. Remove from the heat, take out the beef pieces with a slotted spoon or tongs, and place them in a bowl to cool.
6. Strain the broth through a sieve and skim off the fat.
7. Chilling the broth makes removing the fat easier.
8. Once the beef is cool enough to handle, pull the meat off the bones and tear into bite-sized pieces.
9. Discard the bones.
10. Measure out enough broth or beef for your chosen recipe and keep the rest refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 6 months.
