Ingredients

• 4 pounds beef bones (knuckles, joints, and marrow bones)
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 16 cups water
• 1 large onion, quartered
• 1 medium carrot, cut into large chunks
• 2 celery stalks, cut into large pieces
• 4 garlic cloves, smashed
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tablespoon whole peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Place the beef bones in a large stockpot or slow cooker.

Step 2

Pour 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar over the bones. This helps draw out nutrients from the bones.

Step 3

Add 16 cups of water to the pot, ensuring the bones are fully submerged.

Step 4

Let the bones and vinegar sit for about 30 minutes at room temperature.

Step 5

After soaking, add the quartered onion, carrot chunks, celery pieces, smashed garlic cloves, bay leaves, peppercorns, and salt to the pot.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low.

Step 7

Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the top during the first hour of cooking. This will help keep the broth clear.

Step 8

Cover the pot partially with a lid, leaving a small opening for steam to escape, and let it simmer on low for at least 24 hours. If using a slow cooker, set it on low for 24 hours.

Step 9

Check occasionally to ensure bones remain covered with water; add more hot water as needed.

Step 10

After 24 hours, remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 11

Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl or another pot, discarding the solids.

Step 12

Season the strained broth to taste with additional salt if desired.

Step 13

Allow the broth to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate. Once chilled, a layer of fat will form on top; skim this off for a clearer broth or leave for added richness.

Step 14

Store the broth in airtight containers in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
