Time P1DT15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 pounds mixed beef bones (marrow bones, oxtail, knuckles, short rib, etc.)
2 medium onions
2 medium carrots
3 stalks celery
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F.
  • Spread the mixed bones on a baking tray in a single layer and place it into the oven. Roast the bones for 30 minutes. Flip bones 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 into a 6-quart crockpot. Cover completely with cold filtered water. (All the ingredients should be submerged by about 1 inch of water.)
  • Cook on low for 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 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.
  • Before storing, pour into separate containers and cool to room temperature. Once cooled, chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Skim off the accumulated fat at the top of the container, if there's any. Store in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Time 12h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3-4 lbs. beef bones

2 tsp. grated ginger
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt ((add to taste))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to broil. Place the beef bones on a sheet pan. Place the bones under the broiler in the oven. I browned the bones on each side for about 5 minutes each. It depends on how close the bones are to the broiler.
  • Add the bones to the slow cooker. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, bay leaves, apple cider vinegar and water.
  • Cover and cook on low for 12 hours. You can cook longer if desired.
  • Place a strainer over a large bowl. Ladle the broth into the strainer and discard the bones and veggies. I like to push the veggies into the strainer to get the juices out of them.

When it's warm it looks like beefy tea and when it's cold it looks like a savory gelatin. Some drink it for nourishment and others use it as a replacement for their morning coffee. Whatever your reason for liking bone broth, a slow cooker makes it easy to cook-and eliminates the need to simmer a pot over an open flame for 12 plus hours. Enjoy it plain, or try a few of our tried-and-tested flavor additions to customize and brighten your cup.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 13h25m

Yield about 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds beef oxtails or short ribs
3 pounds beef bones, such as marrow, knuckle or neck bones
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 medium carrots, cut into large pieces
3 stalks celery, cut into large pieces
1 onion, quartered
3 cloves garlic, smashed
5 sprigs fresh parsley
3 bay leaves
12 black peppercorns
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
crushed lemongrass

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  • Arrange the oxtails and bones on a baking sheet and rub all of the pieces with the tomato paste. Roast the bones until very brown in spots, about 45 minutes.
  • Transfer the roasted bones to a 7-quart slow cooker. Use a metal spatula to scrape up any of the brown bits from the baking sheet and add them to the slow cooker, too. Nestle in the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, parsley and bay leaves. Toss in the peppercorns. Pour in the vinegar and 8 cups water (the water should just cover the bones and vegetables).
  • Set your slow cooker to low and cook anywhere from 12 to 24 hours, the broth will be deeper and stronger in flavor the longer it cooks.
  • Once you've decided the broth is ready, remove the insert and transfer the bones and pieces of meat to a baking sheet with tongs. Strain the remaining broth through a fine sieve. Let cool to room temperature. Let the bones cool and pick off and reserve any good-looking pieces of meat to add to soups and stews.
  • Store the bone broth in airtight containers for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer. Serve hot with desired mix-ins.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of bones. This will give your broth a richer flavor. Beef bones, chicken bones, and pork bones are all good choices.
  • Roast the bones before simmering them. This will help to bring out their flavor. You can roast the bones in a hot oven for 30 minutes before adding them to the slow cooker.
  • Add vegetables to the broth. This will help to add flavor and nutrients. Good choices for vegetables include carrots, celery, onions, and garlic.
  • Season the broth to taste. You can use salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to season the broth. Be sure to taste the broth as it simmers and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Simmer the broth for at least 12 hours. This will allow the bones to release their nutrients and flavor into the broth. You can simmer the broth for longer if you want a more concentrated flavor.
  • Strain the broth before using it. This will remove any bones or vegetables that may be in the broth. You can use a fine-mesh strainer or a cheesecloth-lined colander to strain the broth.

Conclusion:

Beef bone broth is a healthy and delicious way to get the nutrients your body needs. It's easy to make and can be used in a variety of recipes. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful addition to your meal, try making a batch of beef bone broth.
