    • Organic Beef Bone Broth Recipe

    What is bone broth?

    In previous posts, we talked about the difference between broth and stock. Bone broth is unique because it uses the parts of the animals we typically throw away (bones, marrow, joints) instead of the meaty bits.

    Bone broth is incredibly healthy because the bones contain an abundance of collagen protein. Simmering the bones in water for 12-24 hours breaks down the collagen to form gelatin.

    Like other broth or stock recipes Iโ€™ve shared, this recipe uses vegetables to help build the flavor. But the true magic comes from using grass-fed organic beef bones and simmering the ingredients on low heat for 12-24 hours.

    Try Turkey Bone Broth and Venison Bone Broth, too.

    Recipe ingredients

    Mixed beef bones: Oxtail, knuckles, neckbones and/or short ribs. You will need 3-4 lbs/1.4-1.8 kg.

    Vegetables: Carrots, onions, celeriac or celery stalks.

    Spices: Bay leaves, sea salt, and black peppercorns.

    See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    How to make organic bone broth?

    Stovetop instructions

    • Step #1: Roast the bones in the oven, remove them from the oven, and place them in a very large pot.
    • Step #2: Add all the remaining ingredients and cover them completely with water.
    • Step #3: Bring to a simmer, but don't let it come to a full boil. Turn the heat down and simmer very lightly for 12 to 24 hours. Top with water from time to time, if necessary, to make sure that everything is submerged.

    Tips: I usually roast the bones on the one day and start making the broth very early the next morning. I leave it on the stove until I go to bed, so about 15-16 hours.

    Crockpot instructions

    • Step #1:ย Roast the bones, place them in the crockpot, add all the other ingredients, and cover completely with water.
    • Step #2: Set the pot on Low and cook for 12 - 24 hours, as desired.

    How to store bone broth?

    If you fill the hot soup in mason jars and place it in the fridge after it gets cold, the broth will stay for at least 3 to 5 days.

    And if you think you cannot use it up so quickly, you could pour the broth into smaller containers and freeze it.

    Ingredients 

    • 3-4 lbs of mixed beef bones 1.4-1.8 kg, oxtail, knuckles, neckbones and/or short ribs
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 medium carrots
    • 3 celery stalks or 150 g/ 5.5 oz celeriac
    • 2 medium onions
    • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
    • 1 bay leaf
    • 2 teaspoon peppercorns
    • fine sea salt to taste

    Instructions

    • Roast bones: Preheat oven to 400ยฐF/ 200ยฐC. Place the beef bones in a single layer on a roasting pan. Drizzle with the oil and rub the bones to coat with it. Roast for 30 minutes, then flip the bones over and roast for an additional 30 minutes.
      3-4 lbs of mixed beef bones / 1.4-1.8 kg + 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • Simmer beef bone broth: Place bones, bay leaf, cider vinegar, chopped vegetables, some salt, and peppercorns in a large crockpot or soup pot. Cover entirely with water and bring almost to a boil, but don't let it start to boil. Add salt. Turn the heat down to low and let simmer for 12-24 hours. If using a crockpot/slow-cooker, simmer on Low for 12-24 hours. Add water, if necessary, to keep all the ingredients submerged.
      bones + 2 medium carrots + 3 celery stalks or + 2 medium onions + 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar + 1 bay leaf + 2 teaspoon peppercorns + fine sea salt to taste
    • Strain broth: Once the broth has reached a dark rich brown color, remove from heat. Discard the bones, vegetables, and bay leaf and strain through the bone broth through a fine-meshed sieve lined with a cheesecloth into a clean pot.
    • Store bone broth: Once at room temperature, pour into jars. Add more salt to taste when using the broth.
    • Skim the fat off the top of the broth before using it. Use as suggested above.

    Notes

    Store in the fridge: If you fill the hot soup in mason jars and place it in the fridge after it gets cold, the broth will stay for at least 3 to 5 days.
    Freeze: If you think you cannot use it up so quickly, you could pour the broth into smaller containers and freeze it.

      Delicious! Made this in my beloved crockpot. Chucked everything in, with half a tsp each of dried thyme and dried rosemary, just cos I love those herbs,and put it on high for 2 hours to bring to a rapid simmer, and then 12 hours on a low simmer. Amazing! Thank you

        Thank you for the feedback, Nikki. I make it in the crockpot myself nowadays. So easy just to leave it on low overnight.

        @Yolanda rodriguez, I put all the ingredients in my slow cooker /crockpot, and had it on high for 2 hours to bring it up to a rapid simmer, then kept it on Low overnight, for 12 hours. 14 hours 'cooking' in total. Aromas round the house wonderful! So easy and simple, with amazingly delicious results. I make my chicken stock the same way. Yummy!

      I enjoy drinking bone broth every morning!
      It has lowered my arthritis and overall pain a lot.
      I also used to be more sensitive to specific types of food.

      I feel that the bone broth has helped my digestion within this area.

      It seems I also have more energy now that I have added
      bone broth into my routine. What do you think about mixing it with a collagen capsule for enhanced
      health benefits? I may try it.

        Hi Natasha. Bone broth is great, I am glad it helped you. But I really don't know about the collagen capsule, I have never had that myself.

      I've been making my own chicken stock for many years (haven't bought it for ten years at least) and I think it's one of the easiest, laziest things to cook (though it requires a long simmering time, so I prepare it when I know I'll stay for several hours at home), but I've never tried making beef stock/broth (not even tasted!). My mum often makes a combination of beef and chicken bones+meat+vegetables and it tastes great, so I must test your beef version one day because it sounds fantastic. Vinegar's addition sounds very interesting!

      NOTHING beats homemade broth or stock! And this bone broth looks incredibly flavorful! I need to make a vat of this and keep it on hand in the freezer! Love it! Cheers, friend!
