Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the beef bones and brisket and boil for 5 minutes, then drain and rinse both the bones and the meat under cold running water. This parboil removes impurities that would cloud the broth.

Set your oven broiler to high (or use a gas burner on high). Place the halved onion and ginger cut-side up on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil 5–7 minutes, until the cut surfaces are deeply charred and fragrant. Set aside.
