White Bone Broth (사골육수) + White Bone Broth Beef Soup (설렁탕)

Each batch of broth you make will make about 3-4 quarts (depending on how long you simmer it)
Batch means adding the water to bones, I did two batches.

Materials

  • 10.28 lb Beef Leg Bones (사골)
  • 2 gal Water

Instructions

  • Wash bones in cold water to remove bone fragments and debris.
  • Soak bones 5 hours to overnight in the fridge.
  • After strain the bones and wash in cold water.
  • Now add the bones to a pot with enough water to cover (not the measured water amount)
  • Bring the bones to a boil, then start your timer for 20 minutes.
  • Let is simmer 20 minutes then dump out the water and wash the bones.
  • Remove any marrow or connective tissue etc. from the bones and wash again.
  • Now add the cleaned bones to a pot and add the measured water. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook for 4-6 hours.
  • The broth should start looking milky after 2 hours, it will get more white as time goes by. Make sure the bones are submerged as they simmer.
  • After the broth is pure white, strain the broth using a fine mesh strainer.
  • Cool completely using an ice bath.
  • Then place it into a container and in the fridge. After an hour, check the fridge and see if the fat solidified. If it did, scoop off the fat on the top using a spoon.
  • Now you can store it in the fridge or freezer following the storage tips and freshness time frame recommendation.
