Answers:
The browned bits from pan where you roasted them is the key!. With warm water to the roasting pan; stir to loosen browned bits from pan!. Transfer pan juices to kettle!.
It should then simmer, uncovered, for 4-5 hours, skimming the surface as foam rises!.
Remove beef bones and set aside until cool enough to handle!. If desired, remove meat from bones; discard bones and save meat for another use!. Strain broth through a cheesecloth-lined colander, discarding vegetables and seasonings!. If using immediately, skim far or refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight; remove fat from surface!. Broth can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for 4 to 6 months!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The dark brown color is made from colorings and dyes,real beef broth is much lighter if it has been properly skimmed before and after cooking!.
