There are different kinds of meat stock. Most are based on veal, which yields a fine, white, versatile stock. Its younger bones garner the most gelatin, a collagen derivative that thickens and enriches the stock. White veal stock can be substituted for chicken stock and is especially good for delicately flavored sauces. Beef can be added for a brown stock.

Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. This blanching process will allow you to rinse much of the gray scum that the veal releases. It is particularly helpful if you are using veal meat in addition to bones. Step 2Return the bones to the pot, cover again with water, and bring to simmer, skimming often. Add the vegetables and simmer very gently, partially covered, for 4 to 5 hours more to concentrate flavor. Skim off fat and scum every hour or so. Add water if necessary to keep ingredients covered; do not allow stock to boil. Strain the stock through a sieve into a bowl. Step 3When stock has cooled, set uncovered in refrigerator for several hours berayun-ayun fat is hardened; scrape off. Use within two days or freeze. Tips & Techniques Source
