Rich Beef Broth with Carrot

This rich beef broth with carrot is a deeply savoury, nutrient-dense soup that relies on the slow-roasting of short ribs and shanks to develop a complex depth of flavour. By caramelising the beef and root vegetables before simmering, you create a clear, mahogany-coloured liquid that is both comforting and sophisticated. The addition of a classic bouquet garni ensures a subtle herbaceous note that balances the meaty intensity of the stock.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this recipe is naturally low in carbohydrates and high in protein, making it an excellent choice for a light lunch or a nourishing starter. The fat is carefully skimmed away after chilling, resulting in a lean yet silken broth that is easy to digest. Serve it in small espresso cups for an elegant presentation, garnishing each portion with finely diced carrots for a touch of natural sweetness and texture.

Ingredients for Rich Beef Broth with Carrot

  • 1.8kg short ribs or flanken

  • 900g meaty beef shanks

  • 2 onions, left unpeeled, quartered

  • 2 celery ribs, quartered

  • 2 carrots, 0.9L ered and 1 cut into 1/4-inch dice

  • 4 fresh parsley stems (without leaves)

  • 1 ramita de tomillo fresco

  • 1 hoja de laurel turco o 1/2 hoja de laurel de California

  • 4 whole black peppercorns

  • 3350ml water

  • 1 1/2 cucharaditas de sal

  • tela de queso

  • hilo de cocina

  • 12 demitasse or espresso cups

Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 232°C.

Spread short ribs, shanks, onions, celery, and quartered carrot in a large flameproof roasting pan and roast, turning occasionally, until well browned, about 1 hour.

Wrap parsley, thyme, bay leaf, and peppercorns in cheesecloth and tie into a bundle with string to make a bouquet garni.

Transfer meat (with bones) and roasted vegetables to a 6- to 8-quart pot and add 2875ml water, salt, and bouquet garni. Straddle roasting pan across 2 burners, then add remaining 475ml water and deglaze pan by boiling, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Add deglazing liquid to pot, then bring to a boil, skimming froth. Reduce heat to low and gently simmer, uncovered, until liquid is reduced to about 1200ml , 7 to 8 hours.

Transfer mixture to a bowl and cool completely, uncovered, about 1 hour, then chill, covered, at least 8 hours.

Remove fat. Reheat mixture in cleaned pot over moderate heat until warm. Discard beef shanks (meat and bone), then transfer short ribs to a platter and, when cool enough to handle, discard bones and fat. Finely chop short ribs and reserve for terrine . If not using meat within 1 hour, chill, covered. Pour broth though a cheesecloth-lined sieve into a 1 1/2-quart saucepan and skim off any remaining fat. Bring broth to a simmer and season with salt.

Cook diced carrot in a small saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender, about 4 minutes. Drain in sieve and divide among demitasse cups, then add broth.
