Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef bones (preferably joint and marrow bones)
• 16 cups water
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 large onion
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 medium celery stalks
• 4 whole garlic cloves
• 2 whole bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 bunch fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Place the beef bones on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, turning once halfway through to ensure even browning.

Step 3

Transfer the roasted bones to a large stockpot. Add 16 cups of water or enough to fully cover the bones.

Step 4

Pour in the apple cider vinegar and let the mixture sit for 30 minutes to help draw the nutrients from the bones.

Step 5

Meanwhile, roughly chop the onion, carrots, and celery. Peel and smash the garlic cloves.

Step 6

Add the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and salt to the pot.

Step 7

Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.

Step 8

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the broth simmer gently. Partially cover the pot with a lid, and allow it to cook for 12-24 hours. The longer it simmers, the more nutrient-rich it will become.

Step 9

Add the fresh parsley during the last 30 minutes of simmering.

Step 10

Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into another pot or large heatproof container, discarding the solids.

Step 11

Let the broth cool at room temperature, then refrigerate overnight. The fat will solidify on top and can be scraped off if a lower-fat broth is desired.

Step 12

Heat before serving. Enjoy as a nourishing drink or use as a base for sauces, soups, or stews.
