Direction

1. Rich Beef Broth:
Sauté bones in 8-quart stockpot until dark brown on all sides. Add remaining ingredients.
Heat to boiling; reduce heat.
Simmer uncovered 3 hours. Strain broth.
Refrigerate covered until cold, about 6 hours. Remove and discard.

2. Horseradish Sauce:
Whisk horseradish, egg yolks, salt and pepper in medium-size bowl.
Soak bread in milk in small bowl 1 minute. Remove bread, squeezing out excess milk.
Whisk bread into horseradish mixture. Whisk in ¼ cup of the oil drop by drop.
Whisk in remaining oil in slow, steady stream. Whisk until sauce is thick. Whisk in vinegar.

3. Heat broth in large stockpot to simmering. Add brisket, bones, liver, leek and onion.

4. Barely simmer covered, without allowing broth to bubble, until brisket is tender and center is medium-rare, about 3 hours.

5. Remove bones from broth. Remove marrow from bones; slice marrow; transfer to platter.
Strain and degrease broth; spoon about ½ cup over meats.

6. Serve meats with carrots; garnish with chives. Reserve remaining broth for other use.
