Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef bones (marrow, knuckle, or mixed)
- 5 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 medium onion, quartered
- 2 large carrots, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 4 quarts water
- salt, to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Spread the beef bones on a large baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown.
Transfer the roasted bones to a large stockpot. Add garlic cloves, onion, carrots, celery, bay leaves, and peppercorns.
Pour in the apple cider vinegar and enough cold water to cover the bones and vegetables completely (about 4 quarts).
Bring the mixture to a vigorous boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, skimming any foam or scum that rises to the top using a ladle or spoon.
Cover the pot loosely and let the broth simmer on low heat for 24 hours. Check occasionally to ensure the bones remain submerged and add more water if needed.
After 24 hours, remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly.
Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl, discarding the solids.
Season the broth with salt to taste.
Allow the broth to cool completely before refrigerating. Once chilled, skim off the solidified fat from the surface if desired.
Store the bone broth in airtight jars or containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze in portions for later use.
