• In a separate pan, heat clarified butter on low to medium heat, then add flour and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, about 15 minutes.
• Once your gravy boils, add the hot roux and stir constantly with a whisk until it reaches a nice gravy consistency. (You may add more or less roux depending on how thick you like your gravy.) Taste and add bouillon as desired.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Roast beef bones on a sheet pan for 1 hour.
• Place bones and any liquid fat and caramelized fat stuck to the sheet pan in a stockpot.

Simmer for 36 hours, adding more water when necessary. (Water will be evaporating constantly. Let stock reduce down to 1/2 gallon on the final day. If it yields a little less, it's ok to add water so that your exact yield is 1/2 gallon.)
