How To Make Beef Consomme
- Serves:
- 4
- Cooking Time:
- 1 minutes
- Total Time:
- 1 minutes
Step 1: You will need
- 5 medium egg whites
- 500 g lean ground beef, shank, neck or shoulder
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 medium celery stick, cut into chunks
- 1 medium carrot, cut into chunks
- 200 g tomatoes, chopped
- 2 ½ ltr beef stock
- 1 medium onion brulee, almost burnt
- 2 medium bay leaves
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp peppercorns, crushed
- 8 medium parsley stems
- 2 cloves of garlic
- salt to taste
- 1 medium carrot, diced
- 100 g snow peas, cleaned and cooked
- 2 bowls
- 1 whisk
- 1 spoon
- 1 large pot
- 2 kitchen paper
- 1 cheese cloth
- 1 knife
Step 2: Whip the egg whites
After separating, whisk the egg whites until they are slightly frothy.
Step 3: Prepare meat and vegetables
In a large pot, add the egg whites, beef, chopped onions, celery, carrot and the tomatoes. Combine them all together.
Step 4: Add the stock
Add the cold beef stick and mix thoroughly. Add the onion brulee and the herbs.
Step 5: Bring to simmering point
Slowly bring the mixture to a simmer over a moderate heat, stirring occasionally. Stop stirring when the meat begins to float to the surface of the liquid.
Step 6: Continue cooking
Break a hole in the centre of the meat to allow the consomme to bubble through. Continue simmering until the full flavour develops. Around 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Step 7: Strain the liquid
Once the cooking time is up, strain the liquid through several layers of cheesecloth. Gently lay a corner of a paper towel on the surface to soak up any excess fat.
Step 8: Season, garnish and serve
Adjust any seasoning if necessary. Garnish with the diced carrots and snow peas. Serve immediate.
Tips & Comments
That is the worst Consommé I have ever seen prepared, it's not even clear, Consommé IS and SHOULD ALWAYS BE "Crystal Clear". What a disgrace.
This Beef Consommé is absolutely not up to standard. The soup should be crystal clear. Apparently, the clarification step was not well conducted to clear up all the raft.
this recipe is the same recipe if my own,,,
To make a good consomee, one must start with a good rich beef stock and that would only be obtained by making your own stock. Then follow the recipe and of course like anything-You must season To Taste at the end. Some like it saltier and some like it peppery.
How could clear beef broth be "disgusting"?
this is disgusting
