Pull bones out and pour all through a sieve. Chill and defat the broth. We are going to salvage the veggies and puree with the broth.

This was a busy day in the kitchen. Sauerkraut started, beef stock made, fresh bread, dijon vinaigrette salad dressing.

I decided it was time for a apple wood smoked New York strip.
