Beef stock in an hour?

Throw your beef bones & off cuts in a pressure cooker with lots of water and blast it for 55 mins.

Strain the bones out and you're good to go.

It'll be a bit thin/weak stock, so I'd probably want to reduce it by simmering with the lid off.

I asked ChatGPT and it came back with:

Making beef stock in under an hour is possible with a pressure cooker or Instant Pot, which drastically reduces cooking time. Here's a quick recipe:

### **Quick Beef Stock (Pressure Cooker Method)**

#### **Ingredients:**

* 1.5–2 lbs beef bones (preferably with some meat and marrow)

* 1 onion, quartered (no need to peel)

* 2 carrots, chopped

* 2 celery stalks, chopped

* 3–4 garlic cloves, smashed

* 1–2 bay leaves

* A few sprigs of thyme or parsley

* 1 tbsp tomato paste (optional, for depth)

* 1 tsp whole peppercorns

* Salt to taste

* Water (about 8 cups, or enough to cover ingredients)

#### **Instructions:**

1. **Roast (optional for richer flavor):** Roast the bones at 425°F (220°C) for 20–25 minutes until browned.

2. **Sauté (optional):** In the pressure cooker, sauté onions, carrots, and tomato paste for a few minutes.

3. **Add everything:** Add bones, garlic, herbs, peppercorns, and water to the pot.

4. **Pressure cook:** Seal the lid and cook on high pressure for **45 minutes**. Allow for a natural pressure release (about 10 minutes).

5. **Strain:** Pour through a fine sieve or cheesecloth to remove solids.

6. **Use or store:** Use immediately or cool and refrigerate/freeze.
