Ingredients
Scale
- 3-4 lbs of mixed beef bones (oxtail, knuckles, neckbones, and/or short ribs)
- 2 medium carrots
- 3 celery stalks
- 2 medium onions
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 bay leaf
- 10-12 cups water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Arrange the bones in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 60 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Chop the carrots, celery, and onions (no need to peel), and place them in a 7-quart slow cooker.
- Add the bay leaf and apple cider vinegar to the vegetables.
- Once the bones are roasted, add them to the slow cooker and cover everything with water.
- Set the slow cooker to LOW and let it cook for 18-36 hours until the broth is deep brown and aromatic.
- After cooking, carefully use a slotted spoon to remove the larger pieces into a colander set over a large bowl.
- Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to catch any remaining solids.
- Transfer the broth into jars and refrigerate promptly. Once cool, remove the fat layer and save it for cooking.
- Reheat before serving and season to taste.
Notes
For the best flavor, use grass-fed beef bones. Optional herbs like thyme or rosemary can be added for extra flavor.
