AB's Beefy Broth
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown

Ingredients
Vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
3 pounds combined beef shank and oxtail pieces
2 onions, quartered
2 ribs celery, halved
2 carrots, halved
3 cloves garlic
1 bunch parsley
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 quarts water

Directions
Place pressure cooker over high heat. Oil and salt the
oxtail and shank pieces then sear in batches. Add remaining ingredients and cover
with water, being careful not to fill above the cookers "maximum fill" line. (If
your pressure cooker does not have a water line, fill the pot 2/3 full). Bring to
a boil and skim off any foam that gathers at the surface. Cover and lock lid. Once
pressure builds up inside the cooker, reduce the heat so that you barely hear
hissing from the pot. Cook for 50 minutes.
Release pressure using your cookers release device (read that manual) or cool the
cooker by running cold water over the lid for 5 minutes. Carefully opening the lid
and strain squeezing the solids before feeding to the compost pile, or the dogs.
Strain through a fine sieve or several layers of cheesecloth. Season and serve or
use as a base for other soup recipes.
