Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds beef bones
- 2 stalks celery stalks
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 large onion
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 leaves bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 12 cups water
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the beef bones on a large baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, turning halfway through, until deeply browned.
Meanwhile, roughly chop the celery, carrot, and onion. Crush the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife.
Transfer the roasted bones to a large stockpot. Add the chopped celery, carrot, onion, crushed garlic, bay leaves, and whole black peppercorns.
Pour in the apple cider vinegar and 12 cups of water, ensuring the bones are completely covered.
Bring the mixture to a rapid boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low and let the broth simmer. You want the broth to be just bubbling gently.
Cook the broth on a low simmer for 24 hours. Check occasionally and add a bit of water, if necessary, to keep bones submerged.
After 24 hours, add sea salt and stir well.
Remove the pot from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer into another pot or large bowl.
Discard the solids. Let the broth cool completely and then refrigerate. Once chilled, skim the fat off the surface if desired.
Store the broth in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for later use.
