Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Rub meat bones with tomato paste. Place in roasting pan with onions, carrots, and celery. **Roast for 40 to 45 minutes** until deeply caramelized and brown.
Transfer roasted bones and vegetables to a large 8-quart stockpot. Deglaze roasting pan with 1 cup boiling water, scraping up browned fond; pour into stockpot.
Add cold water, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and peppercorns. Bring to a bare simmer, reduce heat to lowest setting, and **simmer uncovered for 3.5 to 4 hours**, skimming foam occasionally. Strain through fine mesh strainer and chill!
1. Let the Meat Rest Before Slicing: Transfer cooked meat to a cutting board for 5–10 minutes before carving. Resting allows tight muscle fibers to relax and redistribute savory juices evenly throughout the cut. 2. Protect Minced Garlic from Burning: Garlic cooks and turns fragrant in just 30 to 45 seconds. Add it toward the end of sautéing onions or aromatics so it perfumes the dish without acquiring a bitter edge. 3. Chef's Kitchen Secret: Roast Bones First: Roasting meaty bones until dark brown creates rich color and eliminates raw meaty odor.
Store leftovers in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a preheated 350°F oven or covered skillet over medium-low heat until steaming hot throughout.
