Method

Place the bones with the beef balanced on top in a large pan. Cover with 2.8 litres of cold water and bring slowly to the boil.

Remove the grey scum that forms and turn the heat down low.

When only a small amount of white scum is left, add the vegetables, peppercorns and bouquet garni.

Partially cover the pan and ensure that the liquid merely ripples rather than bubbles furiously. Continue cooking for 3 hours and remove the meat.

Cook on for a further 1-2 hours to get the maximum goodness from the marrow bones.

Strain.
