Beef Aspic on the Bone (Kholodets)

Make a real, old-fashioned beef aspic — kholodets — for the whole family! Aspic built on bones always turns out rich and full-flavored. For a crystal-clear broth, keep a couple of tricks in mind: never let it boil hard, and strain it before pouring it over the meat to clear out any sediment. And to avoid the unpleasant surprise of aspic that won't set, don't add too much water — just enough to barely cover all the ingredients.

    1. Prep the ingredients: rinse the meat and bones, cut the oxtails into pieces, and peel and rinse the onion and carrot. 2. Put the prepared ingredients in a pot and add just enough cold water to cover them, along with the black peppercorns and bay leaves. 3. Set the pot over the heat and bring to a boil. As soon as the water boils, lower the heat, skim off the foam, cover, and keep simmering. 4. Once the beef tenderloin is done, lift it out, transfer it to a separate container, and cover it. 5. Let the oxtails keep cooking until the meat pulls away from the bone. Then remove them along with the carrot and onion and add them to the reserved meat. Take out the bones as well. 6. Now season the broth with salt and pepper. Peel the garlic, press it in, and take the pot off the heat. 7. Pull the meat apart into fibers and divide it among your containers. Pour the broth over the meat, straining it through a sieve as you go so no sediment gets in and the aspic stays clear. 8. Slice the carrot into rounds and use them to decorate the aspic. Let it cool to room temperature, then cover with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate. Leave it overnight. And there you have a beautiful aspic — and a delicious one! Enjoy!
