Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Rinse the beef marrow bones and shank under cold water, removing excess blood and bone fragments for a clear broth.

  2. 2

    Place bones, beef shank, onion, garlic cloves, and bay leaves in a large stockpot. Cover with 12 cups of cold water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Once boiling, reduce heat to low and skim foam from the surface. Simmer gently, uncovered, for 2 hours to allow bone marrow to release flavor.

  4. 4

    Add carrots, celery, potatoes, kosher salt, and black pepper. Continue simmering for another 60–90 minutes until vegetables are tender and the broth deepens in color.

  5. 5

    Remove bones and bay leaves; shred beef shank and return to the pot. Stir in chopped cilantro, taste and adjust seasoning as needed, and serve piping hot.
