    Beef Bone Broth

    Posted: Jun 24, 2009 · Updated: Jul 8, 2019 by Jenny McGruther · This site earns income from ads, affiliate links, and sponsorships.

    Beef stock - especially homemade beef stock is remarkably easy to prepare especially using this tried-and-true classic beef stock recipe.   You don't need purchased beef base to prepare a decent beef stock any more than you need those hateful little granules of chicken bouillon to prepare a chicken stock.   Just a lazy Saturday around the house, some soup bones and vegetable scraps are all that this beef stock recipe requires.

    While we mostly use chicken bone broth in our home, from time to time we mix it up by also preparing a good beef stock.   The beef soup bones usually arrive in little paper packages from our meat CSA or for free at the farmers market.   In this beef stock recipe, we couple those beef soup bones with leftover vegetable scraps - you know, the odds and ends of onions, the peelings from carrots and celery leaves.   The inexpensive bones coupled with the vegetable scraps makes this beef stock recipe remarkably inexpensive to prepare.

    A long cooking time provides ample opportunity for the wholesome nutrients present in the beef soup bones to leach out and into the water.   The resulting beef stock is rich in nutrients - particularly minerals like calcium.   It is also a rich source of gelatin and glucosamine chondroitin.   You can read more about the benefits of bone broth.

    Ingredients

    • 5 pounds beef soup bones
    • 12 cups water
    • ½ cup red wine
    • 2 bay leafs

    Instructions

    • Heat the oven to 400 F.
    • Roast the bones at 400 F for about an hour until the bones are well-browned and fragrant. Drain off any fat.
    • Place the roasted in a large stock pot, and then pour in the water and red wine. Then drop in the bay leafs. Bring it all to a boil over medium-high heat, and then immediately turn down the heat to low. Simmer the bones 12 - 14 hours, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface of the broth as it cooks.
    • Strain the stock, and serve immediately or pour into jars, seal tightly, and store in the fridge up to 1 week.
