Ingredients
- 1–2tbsp of olive oil
- 1.5–2kg beef rib bones, chopped into pieces (ask your butcher for these)
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- 1 Knorr Rich Beef Stock Pot
Method
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based frying pan. Add in the bones and brown on all sides for 10–15 minutes, stirring now and then. We’re caramelising and roasting the bones to bring out their flavour.
- Add the onion to the pan and fry for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the onion has softened.
- Carefully tilt the frying pan to one side to gather any excess fat and spoon it off and discard it.
- Add 900ml of boiling water to a Knorr Rich Beef Stock Pot and whisk or stir in until the Knorr Rich Beef Stock Pot has dissolved.
- Add the Knorr Rich Beef Stock to the pan. Bring to a rolling boil and cook until the gravy reduces by just under half, skimming off any fat that comes to the surface, around 20 minutes. I like the texture like this. If you want to make it thicker, then simply add some cornflour mixed with a little cold water into a paste. It’s down to your palate at the end of the day.
- Strain through a fine-meshed sieve, return to a pan and heat through before serving. It’s a small price to pay for a delicious gravy – a few bones, an onion and a Knorr Rich Beef Stock Pot.
