What do I do with a buffalo soup bone?!
what is this for? i haven't found too much information on soup bones (buffalo or beef) and am wondering if i can do more than just make stock with it. maybe instead of just stock... some soup?
I'm not specifically looking for a recipe, if maybe someone could just explain what a soup bone is? how it can be used? (this is my first question (for once Google failed) ever on yahoo and it has cost me 5 points. Who knew inflation would effect a simple request for help?)
Answers: I recently got some frozen buffalo meat from a friend (his father hunted this at a resort and they cut and packaged everything up for him) and i have a couple steaks, some ground meat but also... a soup bone piece.

I would boil it with carrots, celery, onion and garlic. Then add what ever else you want in your soup. It's a method your looking for not a recipe. Good luck and enjoy!
You got a real treat with that buffalo! You can use any recipe for beef perfectly well, though buffalo is leaner, so you may need to add a little extra fat to some things.
Soup bones are the basis for a nice soup. Take that bone and put it in an oven-proof dish along with a carrot or two, an onion you've cut in wedges and a couple of stalks of celery (all washed and cut into pieces that will fit into the dish - they don't have to be small.) Now roast that on 350F for an hour (or more) until you get a nice roast beef smell and the bone is nicely browned.
Put the whole mess into a kettle and cover it with water. And put a little water into the baking dish to dissolve any browned bits. Simmer another hour or so to get a nice stock. Strain everything out and throw it all away except for the liquid. Use that like you would any stock to make soup.
you always boil the bone the longer the better add any vegetables that you want onions are very important they bring out the flavor of the meat and other vegetables add beef base and pepper. use of a bay leaf is always a nice touch
