This stock ( https://cookpad.wasmer.app/gr/r/16752937 ) is the base for other soups, sauces, or aspic. It contains all the proteins from the meat and no fat. There are two steps to making consommé. The first is to make the stock, and the second is to clarify it by removing the fat.
Clarification is the simple process that gives consommé its crystal-clear appearance.
This recipe is from Jacques Pépin's book!

Steps

About 1 hour
  1. 1

    Place all the vegetables in a large pot.

  2. 2

    Add the spices, egg whites, and finally the ground beef.

  3. 3

    Pour in the beef stock and cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and to break up the ground beef. Don’t worry if the mixture becomes very cloudy and forms a white foam. The albumin in the egg whites and meat will solidify, which is the process that will clarify the stock.

  4. 4

    Once the mixture comes to a boil, STOP stirring and reduce the heat so it just simmers. As it simmers, you’ll notice the ingredients form a 'crust' on the surface with one or two holes where the liquid gently bubbles through.

  5. 5

    Let it simmer like this for 1 hour without disturbing the pot. Turn off the heat and let the stock stand for 15 minutes. You’ll see a crust has formed on the surface, which has trapped the fat and other solids.

  6. 6

    Strain the stock through a fine mesh strainer lined with paper towels, being careful not to let the crust fall into the liquid.

  7. 7

    Let the strained stock rest for 1 hour and check if any fat remains on the surface. Remove it by blotting with a paper towel. You can serve the consommé hot or cold with different garnishes. When cold, it will be like a gel; when heated, it will be liquid.

  8. 8

    The crust is usually discarded, but by adding whole eggs, breadcrumbs, and seasonings, you can turn it into a nice meatloaf. Be sure to remove the peppercorns for this use, or place the spices in a food-safe sachet.

  9. 9

    Serve it plain! I also added the cleaned osso buco meat from the first stage. It’s a bit of a process, but the result is worth it! Enjoy and good luck!
