Bone Broth Recipes

THE BEST (AND MOST SIMPLE) BONE BROTH RECIPE + BONE BROTH BENEFITS

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to a large pot (or pressure cooker) and add enough water to just cover the bones. Let it boil and once it boils, turn it off so you can skim any scum that may have surfaced. (This is optional but some believe it to be helpful in keeping the taste pure. Sometimes I do it and sometimes I don't. Totally up to you.)
• If using pressure cooker like InstantPot, put it on the pressure cooker setting on high for 3 hours and allow the pressure to naturally release when it's done. If using a regular pot over the stove, let it simmer for 12-16 hours.If using a slow-cooker, let it simmer for 12-16 hours.
• Strain the cooked broth to keep the liquid gold you've just made.

SLOW COOKER BONE BROTH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; spread beef bones out on prepared baking sheet.
• Roast bones in the preheated oven until browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Place carrots, celery, onion, garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaves in a slow cooker. Place roasted bones over vegetables; pour in enough cold water to cover bones. Add apple cider vinegar and kosher salt.
• Cook on Low for 8 hours. Pour broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl and discard any strained solids.

BEEF BONE BROTH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place beef bones on the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast bones in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, turning over at the halfway point.
• Carefully place bones into a large stockpot and pour in any juices that have collected on the baking sheet. Add celery, onion, leek, and garlic to the stockpot, and add just enough water to completely cover the bones. Stir in bay leaves, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
• Bring broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a very low simmer and cover, venting the lid a bit. Simmer for 12 hours, occasionally skimming off any foam and "gunk" that rises to the top. Add additional water whenever bones and vegetables are no longer covered.
• Remove the pot from the heat and cool broth to room temperature. Strain broth with a fine-mesh strainer into a clean pot. Discard bones and vegetables.

BONE BROTH

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a roasting pan with cooking spray.
• Spread tomato paste onto beef bones and place in the prepared roasting pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bones begin to brown, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer bones to a slow cooker and pour in enough water to cover bones. Add onions, carrots, garlic, and bay leaves to broth mixture.
• Cook on Low for at least 24 hours.
• Strain broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a container and refrigerate.

SLOW-COOKER BONE BROTH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 F.
• Arrange the oxtails and bones on a baking sheet and rub all of the pieces with the tomato paste. Roast the bones until very brown in spots, about 45 minutes.
• Transfer the roasted bones to a 7-quart slow cooker. Use a metal spatula to scrape up any of the brown bits from the baking sheet and add them to the slow cooker, too. Nestle in the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, parsley and bay leaves. Toss in the peppercorns. Pour in the vinegar and 8 cups water (the water should just cover the bones and vegetables).
• Set your slow cooker to low and cook anywhere from 12 to 24 hours, the broth will be deeper and stronger in flavor the longer it cooks.
• Once you've decided the broth is ready, remove the insert and transfer the bones and pieces of meat to a baking sheet with tongs. Strain the remaining broth through a fine sieve. Let cool to room temperature. Let the bones cool and pick off and reserve any good-looking pieces of meat to add to soups and stews.
• Store the bone broth in airtight containers for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer. Serve hot with desired mix-ins.
