Ingredients:

1 tbsp

Cider Vinegar

Directions:

1

Preheat oven to 450°F

2

Place beef bones, carrots, leek, onion, and garlic on a roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes

3

Toss the contents of the pan and continue to roast until deeply browned, about 20 minutes more

4

Fill a large (at least 6-quart) stockpot with 12 cups of water (preferably filtered)

5

Add celery, bay leaves, peppercorns, and vinegar

6

Scrape the roasted bones and vegetables into the pot along with any juices

7

Add more water if necessary to cover bones and vegetables

8

Cover the pot and bring to a gentle boil

9

Reduce heat to a very low simmer and cook with lid slightly ajar, skimming foam and excess fat occasionally, for at least 8 but up to 24 hours on the stovetop

10

The longer you simmer it, the better your broth will be

11

Add more water if necessary to ensure bones and vegetables are fully submerged

12

Alternately, you can cook the broth in a slow cooker on low for the same amount of time

13

Remove the pot from the heat and let cool slightly

14

Strain broth using a fine-mesh sieve and discard bones and vegetables

15

Let continue to cool until barely warm, then refrigerate in smaller containers overnight

16

Remove solidified fat from the top of the chilled broth
