Beef consommé is a clear and concentrated broth made from beef and bones, slow-cooked for several hours to extract all its flavor and nutrients. It is a widely used ingredient in Latin American and global cuisine, especially in soups, stews, and as a base for other preparations.
The origin of beef consommé dates back to European culinary traditions, where clear broths were essential for preparing delicate and nutritious dishes. In Latin America, its use has been adapted and popularized, particularly in Mexico, Colombia, and Central American countries, where it is used in both home recipes and traditional gastronomy.
Among its properties, beef consommé is a rich source of protein, collagen, and essential minerals such as iron, calcium, and phosphorus, contributing to hydration and nutrition. Additionally, it is low in fat when prepared without added fat, and provides an intense and deep flavor that enriches any dish.
In different Spanish-speaking countries, beef consommé may have several synonyms, including: beef broth, meat broth, concentrated beef broth, or simply consommé. In some parts of Latin America, it is also colloquially called beef stock when served as a light soup.
