“Its very rewarding making your own stock and you should give it a try at least once. If you saw all the nasties hidden in the store-bought stocks, you will likely make it more often. Ingredients like barley, sugar and cornflour are pretty common. This recipe uses the Fats of Life® Bone Broth recipe as a base. That recipe takes a few hours to make and overnight to set. The time allocated for this recipe is simply the steps following that.” – Monya

More on Concentrated Beef Stock Cubes…
You will yield as many as 10 portions of good-quality stock from only one batch in this recipe. I do this by reducing my homemade broth so much that it dwindles down to about half a cup of thick, concentrated stock. I then portion them using a handy ice cube tray to initially set them. They can then be popped out and frozen for your convenience. All you need to do is whisk one jelly cube in a cup of boiling hot water. You can sip on this, or use the stock in your recipes. Remember, you should never season a stock before it reduces – you will be left with a very salty, concentrated mixture. Always season your dishes after any reduction takes place.

Homemade beef stock cubes are packed with collagen, a protein that supports joint health, promotes skin elasticity, and strengthens hair and nails. The gelatine extracted from bones during the broth-making process aids digestion, soothes the gut lining, and improves overall gut health.
Furthermore, beef stock cubes provide a generous dose of key minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, contributing to bone strength and overall vitality. They are also rich in amino acids, the building blocks of protein, which play a vital role in muscle growth and tissue repair.
Incorporating these homemade beef stock cubes into your culinary endeavours not only enhances the taste of your dishes but also brings an array of health benefits to your plate. Whether you’re crafting a comforting soup or a savoury stew, these cubes are a flavourful and nutritious secret ingredient that elevates both your cooking and your well-being.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes. Scroll to the bottom to see all the Soups, Stocks & Broths on Fats of Life®.
Concentrated Beef Stock Cubes
Equipment
Ingredients
- Bone Broth, Fats of Life recipe
Instructions
- You will be using the full portion of the Fats of Life Bone Broth recipe. Assuming you have picked off the fat after it set (as indicated at the end that recipe), continue:
- Tip the gelatinous mixture into a large pot and bring to a moderate simmer. (It might boil over if the heat is too high.)
- Continue to cook until the mixture has reduced to approximately 2 cups. At this point, you can either remove from the heat and use the stock as is for recipes that call for 1 or 2 cups, portioned as necessary.
- However, for the purpose of THIS recipe, we want to make approximately 10 portions of stock. Transfer the stock to a smaller pan and continue to reduce over a moderate heat, stirring the sides of the pan with a silicon spatula.
- The stock should reduce to approximately half a cup. You will see it becomes dark, thick and a little sticky.
- Pour the dark, concentrated stock into an ice cube tray. It should fill about 10 spaces.
- Place in the fridge for 2 hours to set into handy cubes.
- Wrap up the individual cubes and store in the freezer. When you want to to make a cup or two of stock, defrost one cube, then simply whisk in boiling hot water, much the same way you would use a concentrated Knorr stock jelly cube! #CleanEating!

I was not comfortable calculating nutritional data for this beef stock. Ingredients are discarded and fat is picked off when making the Bone Broth which makes up the base of this recipe. It would have been grossly inaccurate even if I tried (even with the sophisticated software that I utilise). I therefore encourage you to simply enjoy the benefits that this is a clean, homemade, richly-flavoured beef stock and be mindful of the allergens.
