Last week you made your favorite spicy soup and now you're left staring at the leftover stock in your fridge. What to do? There's actually a lot more potential for your stock than just soup, and these recipes with beef broth are the perfect example. Use it to add richness to polenta, braise meat and veggies or make a one-pot meal. The possibilities are endless and extremely tasty. Whether you call it stock, broth or even bone broth, here's how to get the most out of this ingredient.
Wild Boar Ragu
Beef broth does an awesome job of deglazing all the yummy bits stuck to your pan from sautéing vegetables. Scrape away! That’s the key to a flavor-packed ragu. Serve this at your next date night or family dinner if you're feeling fancy. (via the Gourmet Gourmand)

Tonkotsu Ramen
Any ramen lover knows that homemade stock is the most important part of ramen. It’s recommended that the broth simmers with plenty of bones and fat for six to 12 hours so it becomes thick and gelatinous. Make ahead and keep in your freezer to give instant ramen new meaning. (via Curious Nut)
Asian Style Braised Oxtail
Braising is the technique you need to master to turn tough meats and vegetables into melt-in-your-mouth dishes. First, brown your ingredients to create a tasty crust that seals in flavor, then slow cook with a small amount of stock, vegetables and spices. This oxtail falls off the bone after a few hours of simmering. (via Ang Sarap)
