Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef marrow bones
• 16 cups Water
• 1 large Onion
• 2 medium Carrots
• 2 large Celery stalk
• 1 leaf Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Whole black peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Place the beef marrow bones in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the bones are well-browned.

Step 3

While the bones roast, prepare the vegetables: peel the onion and cut it into quarters, wash the carrots and celery, and cut them into large chunks.

Step 4

Once the bones are roasted, transfer them to a large stockpot along with any drippings.

Step 5

Add the prepared onion, carrots, and celery to the pot.

Step 6

Pour in 16 cups of water, ensuring the bones are fully submerged.

Step 7

Add the bay leaf, whole black peppercorns, salt, and apple cider vinegar to the pot.

Step 8

Bring the pot to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid but leave a small gap for steam to escape, and simmer for 12 to 24 hours. The longer you simmer, the more nutrients are extracted and the richer the broth will be.

Step 10

Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the top occasionally.

Step 11

Once cooking is complete, remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 12

Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or another pot to remove solids. Discard the solids or save them for another use.

Step 13

Let the broth cool at room temperature for an hour, then refrigerate. Once cold, the fat will solidify on the surface; skim and discard the fat.

Step 14

Store the broth in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for long-term storage.

Step 15

Enjoy as a nourishing drink or use as a base for soups, stews, and sauces.
