I would do it the same as chicken stock.
beef bones
2-3 carrots
2 stalks of celery
2 onions
1 bay leaf
6 peppercorns
sprig of parsley, thyme, marjoram and/or oregano
I would roast the bones 1st for 30mins or so (450F)
then add to pan with rest of ingredients and boil for 3-5hrs removing the scum as needed
I never add salt to stocks and only add it once you have made the soup (near the end). You can always add more salt if needed, but you can never remove it

Is there a particular beef bone that works best and with or without any meats left. I know I'll be straining. I usually use skinned bone in chicken pieces for my chicken stock and then strip the meat for my family to use in meals (chicken quesadillias and casseroles) but I'm more sensitive to red meat so didn't know about doing that here. Sorry to be such a pest.
Off topic: Rygon, I see you use a ginger and peppermint tablet, I've been trying to use a tea but it burns my throat. I don't know if I have sores that it is irritating (do have in the nasal passages right now perhaps they are in the throat as well), so needless to say the tea is not going well. I was trying to help the gas and bloating issue with it. Where do you find the tablets or gel caps? Any help is so appreciated.

I got them from my local boots store. Ive bought them off amazon as well.
I find ginger tablets fine, but the peppermint ones do tend to come back up and make your throat feel minty cold. I can imagine that if the tea hurts too much then these will.
You can buy them with a special capsule which should not dissolve until past your stomach, stopping the reflux action, but these are quite expensive (made by colpermin). I have used these and found them great.
What I have done now is buy a tea pot for loose tea and now I add a centimetre or so of sliced ginger and a couple of slices of lemon, leave to stew for 10-15mins and drink that. Much less harsh of a taste and cheaper. I also bought a peppermint plant and used the leaves from that which again tastes nicer and less harsh.
As for the beef bones, I have no idea (google may be the best bet), but I go into my local butchers and ask for a few cow bones for making stocks and he gives me a bag of them
