🥘Ingredients

Ingredients

4 lbs beef bones
2 large onions
4 carrots
4 celery stalks
1 head of garlic
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp black peppercorns
1 tbsp salt
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
12 cups water

Optional Ingredients

2-3 sprigs fresh thyme
2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2Place the beef bones on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes, or until browned.
3This step adds depth of flavor to the broth.
4While the bones are roasting, roughly chop the onions, carrots, and celery.
5Peel and smash the garlic cloves.
6This will help release their flavors during cooking.
7In a large stockpot, combine the roasted beef bones, chopped vegetables, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, salt, and apple cider vinegar.
8Pour in the water, ensuring all ingredients are submerged.
9Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
10Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for at least 12 hours.
11This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld together and the collagen to break down.
12During the cooking process, skim any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.
13This will ensure a clear and clean broth.
14After 12 hours, remove the pot from the heat.
15Use a fine-mesh strainer to strain the broth into a large bowl or another pot, discarding the solids.
16This step will give you a clear, flavorful broth.
17Let the broth cool to room temperature, then transfer it to airtight containers and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
18This broth can be used as a base for soups, stews, or enjoyed on its own.
