Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F (177°C). Placing the bones in a roasting pan or baking dish. Roast for about 20 minutes, until golden brown.
    3 pounds beef bones
  • Add all vegetables and herbs to the bowl of the slow cooker. Arrange bones on top of the vegetables. Cover all ingredients with 3 quarts of water or enough to fully submerge bones. Leave about 1-inch of space from the water line to the top of the slow cooker. Stir in the vinegar.
    1 medium onion, 3 ribs celery, 2 medium carrots, 2 sprigs rosemary, 1 clove garlic, ¼ cup raw apple cider vinegar
  • Cover with a lid. Cook on low for 18 to 24 hours.
  • Skim off any scum that rises to the top. Once cool enough to handle, strain the broth through a strainer and ladle into glass jars for storage.
    Bone broth keeps in the fridge for up to one week, best if used in 3-5 days. It will freeze well for up to 3 months.

Notes

Separate any meat you can and save it for a quick prep meal by adding to an omelette or casserole.
Bone broth does not have a complete amino acid profile, and therefore is not a complete protein. We do not count the protein found in bone broth toward daily macro intake. Any tallow consumed with the broth should be counted. Tallow has 14 g of fat per tablespoon.
