    Total Time
  • 2 people
    Serves

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds assorted beef bones (find a mix of large beef bones and cuts with some meat like short ribs, oxtails, neck or knuckle bones)
  • 1 yellow onion, cut in quarters
  • 2 carrot, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 head garlic
  • 5 dried bay leaf

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F.  Place bones on a parchment lined, rimmed baking sheet along with onion, garlic, and carrots. 

  • Step 2

    Roast for 45 minutes (this will help give the broth added depth of flavor). 

  • Step 3

    Transfer bones and vegetables to a large pot. Add cold water to fully submerge all ingredients, about 1 to 2 cups. Add bay leaves, cover with the lid slightly ajar, and bring to a very low simmer. Let simmer for 12 to 24 hours, skimming any excess fat off occasionally. The bone broth is ready when it's caramel in color and flavorful. 

  • Step 4

    Using a mesh sieve, strain liquid to remove solids. Salt and pepper to taste, and store in airtight containers. This bone broth can be stored for 5 days in the fridge or up to 6 months in the freezer.
