My Favorite Beef Bouillon
Maggi Beef Rib Bouillon
A few years ago on one of my road trips I came accross this package in a store and picked up a few of them. I can’t remember what store it was in or in what state that was, back then I was doing lots of driving and stopping along the way into local shops and such was my rest time. When I got home here and was making a roast one night I discovered that I was out of my home made beef broth that I usually have in the freezer and decided to try one of these cubes in the liquid the roast was cooking in. WOW! What a flavor the gravy had that night! Not thinking that this simple bouillon cube could have contributed all that flavor I cooked our next roast the way I normally did with some home made stock and that night the deep intense beefy flavor was somewhat dull. On the third roast we had I once again added this simple cube and BANG the great depth of tasty beef was back. Now I am a good cook and I make mostly all of the stocks we use here for sauces, soups and gravies but this bouillon is something special and I wanted to have it on hand, I had a problem finding it and I still haven’t found it in any local places but thanks to my mentioning on a group I belong to one of the posters found it on Amazon.com and I have now ordered a pack of six canisters of this at a great price. If you see this in a local store do yourself a favor and pick up a pack to give it a try on any beef you are braising, the taste will knock your socks off. I have always sought out Maggi products and used them, perhaps because I remember my grandmother using some of them when I was young but mostly because I love the flavor they add to lots of different foods.
Canister
UPDATE:
This is the way I have now ordered it from Amazon.com, it came in a pack of six canisters, each weighing 7.9 ounces, they have a shaker type top on them which makes using them easy. I have to admit I ordered 12 of them, I will share them with the boys and show them the wonders of what Maggi products can do for the foods they make. When I bought the original package I paid almost $2 for the few cubes, the pack of six shakers cost me $12.37 on Amazon and shipping was free because I had also ordered a book I had been wanting for quite awhile. If you order from there and also sign up to have them auto shipped (anywhere from 1-6 month interval) the price dropped to $10.51 and the shipping was automatically free for the auto shipped product. The burgers I made last night and added this too has a great taste to them, hubby and I both loved them. I will rub all of our steaks and beef roasts with this now that I have a nice supply of it. Later this week I want to make a beef and barley soup and you can be sure this will be in it too. I hope you find it locally in your area and give it a try for anything beef you are making, I think you’ll be happy with the added flavor it imparts.
