Broth


 
 

Broth is a liquid in which meat, fish, cereal grains, or vegetables have been simmered and strained out. Broth is used as a basis for other edible liquids such as soup, gravy, or sauce. It is very flavorful and can be eaten alone or with garnish.

  • 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 cooker's "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.
