BEEF CONSOMME
A staple in French cooking and time-consuming to make, but well worth every minute! It must be absolutely fat free to become clear. This recipe calls for some cooking experience and a lot of care and patience--please follow the instructions carefully! The list of ingredients states beef round steak, which I couldn't alter...it means simple beef round, or as also listed beef rump.

Steps:
- Reduce the beef stock by boiling down to half in a large stockpot over medium heat with semi-open lid.
- Set the 2 onion halves on aluminum foil on a hot burner and caramelize the surfaces for approx 10 min minimum.
- They need to burn black, while doing so, do not lift off the foil to check. The rim of the onion will turn black and then you can check.
- This will not influence the taste of the consommé, but make the color dark brown.
- Chop all the vegetables (not the spices!) in the food processor till very coarse.
- Add the beef cubes and pulse several more times, but do not puree!
- Put the mix into a bowl and add the 3 egg whites. Incorporate the mixture well and add the spices.
- Whisk the mix into the warm beef stock reduction and let simmer without boiling.
- Carefully stir mixture and scrape the bottom of the pot to prevent burning, until the egg foam starts to rise to the top, about 30 minute.
- When the egg foam starts to solidify, make a small hole into the middle with a wooden spoon, this will keep the mass compact and easier to handle later.
- Continue to simmer, until the egg foam mixture is solid, about another 30 minutes.
- Remove pot from heat.
- Skim the egg foam mix carefully off the top with a slotted ladle.*.
- Line a sieve with dampened cheeseclothes or a cotton dishtowel and ladle the consommé 1 spoonful after another through the sieve into a big sauce pan.
- If for any reason the consommé is NOT clear at this stage, reheat and add 3 more egg whites to the consommé. This should pick up any left over particles in the liquid.
- Always move the fluids slowly and carefully.
- Repeat the sieving process, if necessary.
- Heat consommé gently and season with salt to taste.
- The consommé should be of a warm brown color.
- Best as a soup in a French gourmet dinner.
- * Do not discard the leftover solid foam etc, but let it cool down and let your pooch have a healthy, yet luxurious Sunday treat!
BEEF CONSOMMé
Consommer means "to accomplish" or "to finish" in French, and consommé is indeed a "finished" stock. (In a culinary context, one could say that to make a consommé is to bring out in full all of the flavors.) What gives consommé its purity and clarity is a bit of culinary magic: Egg whites (combined with mirepoix and ground meat) coagulate in the soup and rise to the top (forming a "raft"), drawing up any impurities that would otherwise cloud the stock. This mixture also infuses the broth with deeper flavor, as does an onion brûlé (or charred onion), which imparts deeper color to the broth. After an hour or two of simmering, the raft is also discarded, leaving behind a clear, intense broth. Consommé can be served either hot or cold, usually garnished in some way or another (there are literally hundreds employed in formal French cuisine); one of the more common embellishments is vegetables cut into julienne or brunoise (page 14), such as the blanched carrot and leek shown here.

Steps:
- Prepare clarification mixture Pulse chopped onion, carrot, and celery in a food processor or mini-chopper until finely chopped. Whisk egg whites until frothy, then add ground beef and chopped vegetables and mix well with your hands. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or overnight).
- Make onion brûlé Sear the remaining onion wedge in a small cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat on both cut sides until blackened, then coarsely chop.
- Clarify stock Pour stock into a stockpot. Remove the clarification mixture from the refrigerator and add the browned onion and the tomato, then add this mixture to the pot. Set over medium-high heat and whisk briskly until thoroughly incorporated with the stock. Use a wooden spoon to stir at a slower speed until the solids rise to the top, then stop stirring. Continue cooking until frothy bubbles start to form around the sides of the raft. Reduce heat to medium-low and use a spoon or a ladle to make a hole in the raft so the consommé can bubble freely, and you can see the color and clarity of the broth. At this point the broth should be clear; further simmering is to develop more flavor.
- Remove raft and strain consommé Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the raft starts to sink a bit. Ladle the consommé from the pot through the hole in the raft (or you can crack it at this point, since it has solidified) into a cheesecloth-lined sieve set over a heatproof container. Discard the raft. Then strain broth again, this time through a coffee filter. Remove fat by sweeping a paper towel across top of consommé several times. Reheat if necessary. Season with salt and garnish as desired. If not serving immediately, allow consommé to cool and then refrigerate overnight in an airtight container. Before using, remove and discard solidified fat that has accumulated at the top and reheat consommé over gentle heat, just until hot.
- Follow the directions above for beef consommé, substituting ground chicken and chicken stock for the ground beef and beef stock.
- Use only coarse salt to season consommé; iodized (table) salt will cause it to turn cloudy.
- The clarification mixture should be kept as cold as possible until needed (always add tomato, or other acidic ingredient, just before using, since it will cause the egg whites to coagulate too soon).
- Monitor the temperature of the consommé as it cooks to make sure it is at a gentle simmer.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Put bones and meat in large baking pan and roast for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until nicely browned.
- Put vegetables and seasonings into large stockpot. Add browned meat and bones. Rinse baking pan several times with some of water, scraping to loosen all browning, and add rinsings and remaining water to stockpot.
- Bring stock to boil slowly, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 3 1/2 hours.
- Strain broth through double cheesecloth or bouillon strainer and refrigerate overnight. Residual meats, if combined with fresh vegetables in aggressively seasoned sauce -with, say, plenty of Madeira and Worchestershire sauce - will make quite good pot pies for freezing.
- Mix first 4 ingredients thoroughly and stir into cold stock.
- Bring stock slowly to boiling point, stirring frequently. Do not let it come to full boil; simmer very gently, uncovered, for 40 minutes. Add thyme and simmer 10 minutes more. Remove from heat, allow to settle and cool for 10 minutes and strain through double cheesecloth or bouillon strainer. (The residual solids can be used for pet food.)
- Reheat clarified consomme, check for salt, and serve piping hot in demitasses or small bouillon cups.
