Ingredients
  

  • 2 kg beef bones with marrow
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 carrots chopped
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 5 garlic cloves crushed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 tablespoon salt adjust to taste
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 10 cups water
  • Fresh parsley optional

Instructions
 

Roast the Beef Bones

  • Place beef bones on a baking tray. Roast them in the oven at 200°C for about 30 minutes. This step adds deep flavor and rich color. It helps bring out a strong, savory taste in your Homemade beef broth recipe.

Prepare the Vegetables

  • Chop onions, carrots, and celery into medium pieces. Crush the garlic cloves slightly. These vegetables will slowly release flavor into the broth. Fresh vegetables make your Homemade beef broth recipe taste more natural and healthy.

Combine Ingredients in Pot

  • Place roasted bones in a large stockpot. Add chopped vegetables, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, salt, and vinegar. Pour in cold water until everything is fully covered. The vinegar helps extract nutrients from bones.

Start Slow Cooking

  • Heat the pot on medium heat until it starts to boil gently. Then reduce heat to low. Let it simmer slowly for hours. This slow cooking is what makes Homemade beef broth recipe rich and full of flavor.

Skim the Surface

  • While cooking, you may see foam on top. Use a ladle to remove it carefully. This keeps the broth clear and clean. Skimming also improves the taste and texture of your Homemade beef broth recipe.

Strain the Broth

  • After four hours, turn off the heat. Carefully strain the broth using a sieve into a large bowl. Remove bones and vegetables. You are left with a golden, flavorful liquid full of nutrients and deep taste.

Cool and Store

  • Let the broth cool at room temperature. Then pour it into jars or containers. Store in the fridge or freezer. This makes your Homemade beef broth recipe ready to use anytime you need it.

Notes

  • Roast bones for deeper flavor
  • Add herbs like thyme or rosemary
  • Use chicken bones for lighter broth
  • Simmer longer for richer taste
  • Add ginger for extra warmth
  • Use slow cooker for easy cooking
  • Avoid high heat boiling
