This delicious recipe for gluten free beef broth is achieved using a simple combination of beef, vegetables, and herbs. Most broth cubes use gluten unless you use special gluten free ones. You can use a piece of stewing steak if you prefer but bones go give the broth a special richness and beefy intensity.
If you want to freeze some of this gluten free beef broth, ladle it into ice cube trays and freeze. Transfer these broth cubes to Ziploc freezer bags and label them with the date. One frozen broth cube is 1 oz of broth or 1/8 cup, if you want to write that on the label too. You can thaw the broth cubes to use in stroganoff, casseroles, stews, French onion soup, and other recipes.
If you want to make a French onion soup recipe, which is also gluten free, you will need to use gluten free bread to make the crouton. Some blue cheeses are made with bread, so watch what French onion soup cheese you top the crouton with. Also, white pepper contains a small amount of gluten so stick to black pepper.
