Rich, deeply savory, and packed with collagen, this beef bone broth is the kind of kitchen project that pays dividends all week long. Roasting the bones first at high heat builds a dark, caramelized crust that translates directly into a broth with serious depth and color — a step that makes all the difference. The apple cider vinegar works quietly in the background, helping to draw minerals and gelatin out of the bones during the long pressure cook. Aromatics like carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and fresh thyme round everything out so the finished broth tastes complex without being fussy. Because this is made entirely from beef bones and whole vegetables, there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden pork-derived additives that can sneak into store-bought versions. The Instant Pot does the heavy lifting, cutting down what would traditionally be an all-day simmer into a manageable hands-off cook. Use it as a base for soups and stews, sip it straight from a mug, or freeze it in portions so you always have something nourishing on hand.

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.
