I have looked in my very old cookbooks found nothing,so went on the web entering Beef Broth there are a few websites with that heading so you might find something that will suit you .Good luck.
You might also want to look for "beef tea", as it used to be called.
Beef tea is the Victorians answer to using up bits of beef as a healthy drink. If you have a Makro card or any good cash and carry for that matter (of know someone that can sign you in) go to the drinks aisle and get a tin of Bovril drink powder.

Makes a good beefy hot drink. The powder is just about the same as the 'paste' in a jar, so you cold use that if you fancy.

A broth is just a liquid in which meat bones, meat, fish, cereals or veg have been simmered - not boiled. Once ready, strain the liquor and -- ta da!...broth. Reduce this a bit for a 'fond brun' (brown stock) or use a base for a good gravy or soup stock.

For a cheap basic soup, try making an oxtail soup using the bones and the meat, strain off the fat that rises to the top of the pan and if you add a few pearl barley or some rice and small dice veg you have a lovely warming soup. Bit like a broth....

Recipes similar you might find are Brown Windsor soup, Scotch broth or a Welsh broth called cawl.
