So I'm taking a chunk of vacation time and I've planned a few cooks while I'm not working. The first was to make some beef broth that I could use in some of the other cooks I am planning. I purchased 3 lbs of ox tails, 2 lbs of marrow bones, and 2 lbs of 80/20 hamburger (of which only 1 lb is used in the broth).
I fired up the Yoder to 400 degrees and watched as I found all of the leaks it has developed over the last 7 years:
Once the thick smoke switched over to normal, I put the raw bones and meat on the smoker:
After 20 minutes of roasting:
Pulled after 40 minutes:
Meat and bones into the pressure cooker:
Water added to the pressure cooker:
Final results:
The results were horrible. This broth tasted like water more than beef. I'm not sure what I did wrong as I followed the directions from this video on YouTube (by Brian Lagerstrom), but I did the roasting on the Yoder and ran it for 40 minutes since the ox tails weren't roasted enough when I checked at 20 minutes. I did freeze the results and may try to fix it at some point, but for now, I'll be using store bought stock for my upcoming cooks.
