Rich, deeply savory, and packed with collagen, this Instant Pot bone broth is the kind of kitchen project that rewards you with something genuinely nourishing. Roasting the beef bones first at high heat builds a dark, caramelized depth that you simply can't shortcut, and the apple cider vinegar helps draw minerals out of the bones during the long pressure cook. Aromatics like carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and fresh thyme round out the flavor without overwhelming the clean, beefy backbone of the broth. The Instant Pot cuts what would traditionally be an all-day simmer down to a manageable two-hour cook, making this feel far less daunting than it sounds. Every ingredient here is straightforward and whole — no packaged seasonings, no nut-based additives, nothing that would raise a flag for anyone avoiding tree nuts like macadamia. Once chilled and skimmed, the finished broth is silky, golden, and endlessly versatile — sip it straight from a mug, use it as a base for soups, or stir it into sauces for an instant upgrade.

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.
