Rick: I'm not sure I understand..
Mrs. M - You don't need it- use Parm..until you find some Pec.. The reason I bake it first is to get the rich beef flavor out..When I had the stock pot on my wood stove I just drained off broth for the soup..But I have left the farm for winter. Soooo its a 2 day
project to get the fat out. and get the flavor in.
