Rich, deeply savory, and built entirely from beef bones and fresh vegetables, this Instant Pot bone broth is the kind of kitchen project that rewards you with something genuinely nourishing. The process starts with roasting the bones at high heat until they're deeply browned, which unlocks a complexity of flavor that you simply can't rush or fake. A splash of apple cider vinegar helps draw minerals from the bones during the long pressure cook, while carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and peppercorns round everything out into a broth that tastes like it simmered on the stove all day. For anyone navigating grain sensitivities, this recipe is naturally free of oats and any grain-based thickeners — every ingredient is whole, recognizable, and straightforward. Store-bought broths and stocks can be surprisingly tricky, sometimes processed on shared lines or padded with additives that aren't always obvious on the label, so making your own is a genuinely smart move. Once chilled and skimmed, the finished broth is silky, clean, and endlessly versatile — sip it warm from a mug, use it as a base for soups, or add it anywhere you want serious depth of flavor.

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.
