Ingredients

• 2 pounds Venison bones
• 2 medium Carrot
• 2 Celery stalks
• 1 large Onion
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 Bay leaves
• 4 Fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 teaspoon Whole black peppercorns
• 10 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Spread the venison bones on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the bones are deeply browned.

Step 3

While the bones are roasting, roughly chop the carrots, celery, and onion into large chunks. Peel the garlic cloves but leave them whole.

Step 4

In a large stockpot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables and garlic, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 6

Add the roasted venison bones to the pot, along with the bay leaves, thyme sprigs, whole black peppercorns, and salt.

Step 7

Pour in the water to cover the bones and vegetables completely. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

Step 8

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the stock simmer gently for 3-4 hours. Occasionally skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.

Step 9

After simmering, remove the pot from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 10

Strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl, discarding the solids.

Step 11

Taste and adjust the salt if needed. Transfer the stock to containers and refrigerate for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
