8 servings
- 4 lb beef bones (knuckles, marrow bones, or oxtail, or a mix)
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 medium carrots, roughly chopped
- 3 stalks celery, roughly chopped
- 1 large yellow onion, quartered (skin on)
- 1 head garlic, halved crosswise (skin on)
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tsp whole black peppercorns
- 1 tsp salt

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Arrange the bones in a single layer in a large roasting pan and drizzle with the olive oil. Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the bones are deep brown on all sides.

Spread the tomato paste over the bones and return the pan to the oven for 5 more minutes, until the paste darkens slightly and smells caramelized.
