Rich, deeply savory, and packed with collagen, this bone broth is the kind of kitchen staple that makes everything else you cook taste better. The process starts with roasting the beef bones at high heat until they're beautifully browned, which builds a complex, meaty depth that a slow simmer alone just can't match. Carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and a splash of apple cider vinegar round out the flavor and help draw nutrients from the bones during pressure cooking. The Instant Pot does the heavy lifting here, compressing what would traditionally be an all-day affair into a manageable cook with a long natural pressure release that keeps the broth clear and clean-tasting. Tree nut allergies can make store-bought broths and stocks a gamble, since shared facilities and flavoring blends sometimes introduce unexpected allergens — making a from-scratch batch like this the smartest move. Every single ingredient in this recipe is straightforward and easy to verify, so you know exactly what's going into your pot and your body. Sip it warm from a mug, use it as a base for soups and braises, or freeze it in portions to have on hand whenever you need it.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the beef bones in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, until deeply browned on the surface.
Transfer the roasted bones to the Instant Pot insert. Add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, salt, and thyme (if using). Pour in the apple cider vinegar and enough cold water to reach just below the max fill line — do not exceed it.
