I bought a 1/4 cow earlier in the year and have a bag of beef shank bones left and am wondering what to do with them other than giving them to the dogs. I was thinking a Pho broth maybe best. Does anyone have a tried and true recipe, or other suggestions?

    Beef Stock all the way, I don't typically roast the bones but rather throw them on a smoker for a few hours , other than that, I keep my stock simple and eyeball.....Bones "good Water" onions garlic peppercorns and bay leaf, rough chop all leave skins on .. a bit of salt if desired, otherwise salt will be added when you do the final product simmer 12-16 hours bag and freeze........

    @paqman has done some really good looking broths from scratch in the past.

    I usually freeze bones from plate ribs and ribeyes that I already cooked so I don’t roast them prior to making stock. From time to time, I do batches using bones from fresh meat and I start by roasting them.

    I don’t have a specific/exact recipe that I follow but I documented my process here: https://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1217710/instant-pot-beef-stock

    The last batch that I made wasn’t as « strong » as I like it so I ended up reducing it by half but that’s typically not required.  I added a packet of Pho spices while reducing it.  It is basically tea bags filled with spices that you discard after a while, I simply purchase those from the asian market.  The orange one is ground spices.  The other bag is whole spices that you add to a bag/net that they provide in the package.  I prefer the whole spices.
