Beef Bone Broth Recipe
Beef Bone Broth Recipe
"Bone broth has incredible nutritional benefits and is best known for improving digestive health. Make a big batch of this broth and store in the refrigerator to drink anytime or use as a base for your favorite soups and savory recipes. I’ve shared an ultimate homemade broth guide before. However, since I found a place selling decent beef bones here in Austin, I thought I’d show you how to make beef bone broth at home step by step. If you go to a local butcher in your area, with just a few simple ingredients, you can easily make this super food at home with a slow cooker. Here’s how."
NotesIf you’re short on time, you can buy beef bone broth online (http://kettleandfire.com/#_a_delish) that’s also grass-fed & organic.
Yields6 Quarts
Preparation Time15 min
Cooking Time23 hr 45 min
Ingredients
- 3-4 pounds of mixed beef bones (oxtail, knuckles, short rib, etc.)
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, chopped
- 3 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinega
-
Preheat oven to 400 F.
-
Place the mixed bones on a baking tray in a single layer and place it into the oven. Roast the bones for 30 minutes. Turn bones over and roast another 30 minutes.
-
While the bones are roasting, chop the carrots, onions and celery. You are discarding these later so a rough chop works great!
-
Place roasted bones, chopped vegetables, bay leaf and apple cider vinegar in a 6-quart crockpot. Cover completely with water.
-
Heat broth on high until it comes to a rapid simmer. Reduce to low heat and simmer for 12-24 hours. Add water as needed to keep all the ingredients covered in water and periodically skim the foam off the top of the pot.
-
After 12-24 hours, the broth should be a dark brown color. Strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer and discard the bones, vegetables and bay leaf.
