Basic Brown Stock

Basic Brown Stock can be used in a wide variety of soups, main dishes, or anything requiring a beef flavored broth. It can also be used forĀ  preparing Espagnole SauceĀ  which is one of the 5 mother sauces. We cheated a bit here by using a box of cooking stock instead of building by scratch.
