Step-by-step: How to Make Beef Bone Broth
Step 1: Roast the Bones and Vegetables
Preheat the oven to 450°F (220°C).
Arrange the beef bones in a single layer on a roasting pan and roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
Coarsely chop the carrots, celery, and onions.
Nestle the vegetables with the bones and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes until they begin to caramelize.
Step 2: Simmer the Broth
Transfer the roasted bones and vegetables from the pan into a stockpot.
Add enough water to cover the bones completely.
Toss in parsley stems, garlic, salt, and pepper. You will see a foamy layer, hence skim any foamy layer off.
Simmer gently for 5-6 hours, stirring occasionally. This helps release minerals from the bones and ensures even heat distribution.
Step 3: Strain and store
Once the broth is ready, strain it through a fine-mesh strainer.
Pour the broth into clean jars or containers.
Store in the refrigerator or freezer for future use.
