Rich, deeply savory, and packed with collagen, this Instant Pot bone broth is the kind of kitchen staple that makes everything it touches taste better — from soups and stews to simple sipping straight from a mug. The bones get roasted first at high heat until they're beautifully browned, which builds that dark, complex flavor you'd normally only find in a broth that's been simmering on the stove all day. A splash of apple cider vinegar helps draw minerals out of the bones, while carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and bay leaves round out the broth with a clean, aromatic backbone. The Instant Pot does the heavy lifting under pressure, cutting the cook time down dramatically without sacrificing any of that slow-cooked depth. Store-bought broths and bouillons are notorious for sneaking in mustard flour or mustard extract as a flavor booster, so making your own is genuinely the safest and most satisfying route. Every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify, giving you total control over what goes into the pot. Refrigerate it, skim the fat once it's chilled, and you'll have a golden, gelatinous broth ready to elevate your cooking all week long.

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.
