USWM Shopping List: Center Cut Shoulder Roast, Beef Knuckle Bones, Beef Marrow Bones, Beef Tallow
Ingredients:
- 3 lb. beef roast (I’m using a center cut shoulder roast)
- 1-2 beef knuckle bones or beef marrow bones, or a combination of both
- 2 TBSP beef tallow
- 1 onion
- 6 carrots

- 3 bay leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Filtered water
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 300ºF.
- Heat tallow in a large dutch oven on the stovetop.
- When tallow is hot, sear all sides of the roast for a few minutes on each side.
- Remove dutch oven from heat.
- Coarsely chop onions and carrots.
- Add bones, onion, carrots, tomato paste, bay leaves, and salt and pepper to dutch oven.
- Add enough filtered water to just barely cover the roast and bones.
- Cover dutch oven with a lid and bake in a 300ºF oven for 6 hours.
- Serve roast with cooked carrots and onions and meat stock on the side. Ladle the meat stock (broth) into mugs to drink. Delicious with a green salad.
