Notes

Use whatever is on hand. I'd have put celery in there if I'd had it. I like celery with beef only. Long ago when I was a cook at Sans Souci in Cleveland, my chef told me to leave the skin on the onion I was using for stock (unless it were dirty). It adds flavor color and nutrients to the stock. Now I always leave the skin on.
