AB's Beefy Broth
- Vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper
- 3 pounds combined beef shank and oxtail pieces
- 2 onions, quartered
- 2 ribs celery, halved
- 2 carrots, halved
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 bunch parsley
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 2 quarts water
- Place pressure cooker over high heat.
- Oil and salt the oxtail and shank pieces then sear in batches.
- Add remaining ingredients and cover with water, being careful not to fill above the cookers "maximum fill" line.
- (If your pressure cooker does not have a water line, fill the pot 2/3 full).
- Bring to a boil and skim off any foam that gathers at the surface.
- Cover and lock lid.
- Once pressure builds up inside the cooker, reduce the heat so that you barely hear hissing from the pot.
- Cook for 50 minutes.
- Release pressure using your cookers release device (read that manual) or cool the cooker by running cold water over the lid for 5 minutes.
- Carefully opening the lid and strain squeezing the solids before feeding to the compost pile, or the dogs.
- Strain through a fine sieve or several layers of cheesecloth.
- Season and serve or use as a base for other soup recipes.
