Laura
What is the purpose of replacing the water after the first boil?
Forrest
What do you mean by the onion "peeled and pierced by 4 cloves"?
Paula
My guess: peel the onion then take the 4 whole cloves and pierce them into the peeled onion itself, spacing them out evenly rather than into one grouping.
Justin
Do you cut up the beef?

Cleans the bones of impurities. Stepdad worked at Stockyards and always washed and scrubbed his meat before cooking. Guessing this does it too. Stockyard made me more of a Vegan, very sad watching sick animals auctioned off.
