I made this beef stock. I roasted the bones in the oven first with some celery, onion and a few seasonings, then I added some burgundy wine and roasted about 30 minutes longer, then put it all in a stock pot, following the directions above, added a bit more burgundy, and it was absolutely fabulous! Just the smell of it cooking was incedible, but it makes wonderful onion soup and veggie soup...also great with salisbury staek with onions, peppers, and mushrooms!
