A rich and restorative beef bone broth recipe that’s deeply flavorful, collagen-packed, and perfect for sipping or using as a soup base. Made with a blend of roasted bones, simple vegetables, and aromatic spices, this broth is slow-simmered to nourishing perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

10 lbs beef bones (marrow + meaty like oxtail, knuckles)

4 carrots, chopped

2 medium onions, quartered

2 whole heads garlic, halved crosswise

6 celery stalks, cut into chunks

4 bay leaves

1/4 cup black peppercorns

4 whole star anise (optional)

2 cinnamon sticks (optional)

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Blanch bones: Cover with water, bring to boil for 15-20 mins. Drain and rinse.
  2. Roast bones and veggies at 450°F for 45 mins, flipping once.
  3. Transfer to clean stockpots. Scrape in pan bits.
  4. Add seasonings + vinegar. Cover with cold water (about 12 cups per pot).
  5. Bring to low boil, then reduce to low simmer with lid slightly ajar.
  6. Simmer for 12-24 hours, skimming fat as needed.
  7. Strain through fine mesh strainer.
  8. Let cool. Skim off fat if desired.
  9. Store in fridge (5 days) or freezer (up to 6 months).

Notes

  • Ask your butcher to cut the bones small – they'll fit better and release more collagen.
  • Use two pots if needed. The bones must be fully submerged.
  • Add a little ice post-simmer to cool quickly.
  • Don’t be afraid of the jello-like texture when cold. That’s the good stuff.
