Ingredients
- 4 pounds beef bones (preferably a mix of marrow bones, knuckle bones, and meaty bones)
- 2 medium carrots, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, smashed
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- Water, as needed
Directions
- Rinse the beef bones under cold water to remove any blood or impurities.
- Place the bones in the Instant Pot and add enough water to cover them by 1 inch.
- Add the chopped carrots, celery, onion, garlic cloves, apple cider vinegar, bay leaf, peppercorns, and sea salt to the pot.
- Close the lid of the Instant Pot and ensure the pressure valve is set to the sealing position.
- Select the 'Soup' function and set the cooking time to 120 minutes at high pressure.
- Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 20 minutes. Then, perform a quick release to release any remaining pressure.
- Carefully open the lid and strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or storage containers.
- Discard the bones and vegetable solids. If desired, you can pick off any meat from the bones and add it back into the broth.
- Let the broth cool for a bit before refrigerating. Once completely chilled, you can remove any solidified fat from the top.
- Store the beef bone broth in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
