Ingredients

  • 2 kg grass-fed beef bones
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 onion, halved
  • 2 carrots, roughly chopped
  • 2 celery stalks
  • Sea salt, to taste

Method

  1. Roast the bones at 220°C for 30 minutes.
  2. Add bones, vinegar, and vegetables to a large pot; cover with cold water.
  3. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat and skim any foam.
  4. Simmer low for 12–24 hours, topping up water as needed.
  5. Strain, season, and cool. Keeps 5 days refrigerated, 3 months frozen.

Bone broth is the most forgiving thing you can make but so so good for your gut.

Low and slow is the whole secret — the longer it goes, the richer it gets. Apple cider helps bring out the collagen and gelatin of the bones.

You can use bone broth as a base for soups, ramen, and stews, or swap it in for water when cooking rice, quinoa, or noodles.

You can also add a splash to sauces, gravies, mashed potatoes, or sautéed vegetables for a little extra flavor. It can also be used to make bone broth hot chocolate!
