Important Ingredients

Whites of eggs – The egg whites are essential in the preparation of beef consommé. All solids will float to the top of the soup and create a “raft” if left to simmer.

The clarified broth is separated from the rest of the components by this raft. The egg whites in this recipe are what hold the solids together, allowing the raft to develop.

Lean Ground Beef — Use 90 percent lean ground beef or more in this recipe cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval cheval Any residual fat in the soup must be drained before serving.

Start with extremely lean ground beef to ensure the least amount of extracted fat possible.

Tomatoes — The acidity of the tomatoes aids in the breakdown of the meat, allowing more of its exquisite taste to emerge. Tomatoes aren’t required for making this beef consommé, although they are incredibly beneficial.

Chef’s Advice For Consommé de Boeuf

• Stop mixing once the steak and veggies have risen to the top of your saucepan. When you get to walk away for 90 minutes before returning to a truly flavorful consommé, this is my personal favorite portion of the process!
• When filtering, try not to disturb the sediments at the top of the broth. The way the beef consommé is clarified is what makes it so distinctive. As a result, maintain the liquid as separate as possible to avoid a murky soup.
• Refrigerate this consommé for up to three days in sealed containers. You can drink it or use it in your favorite soup recipes. You can also freeze your clarified broth for up to three months in sealed containers.
