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.

I followed directions to the letter. At the end of it all, the broth is only a mild beef taste. I must admit I held back on extra salt as I really wanted to try a beef broth that wasn't salty. Now, what else can I do with this broth? Besides use it as stock for something else or add noodles? Any other suggestions?

Alton is using a hard anodized Hawkins Futura pressure cooker. Hawkins Cookers Limited is an Indian pressure cooker and cookware manufacturer. They have 10 different lines of varying sizes, for a total of 57 different pressure cookers. I think their top of the line pressure cooker is the Hawkins Futura Stainless Steel pressure cooker, which I think was the pressure cooker that flustered Alton at the end of his encounter with 'W'. The 2nd generation pressure cooker that 'W' described was a Kuhn Rikon. You can get the Hawkins Futura at Amazon and many other resellers. It comes in 8 different sizes, but some don't appear available in the US.
