Whole 30 Instant Pot Bone Broth

Rich, deeply savory, and made entirely from whole ingredients, this bone broth is the kind of kitchen project that pays dividends all week long. Roasting the beef bones first is the secret move here — that 25-minute blast in a hot oven builds a dark, caramelized crust that translates directly into a richer, more complex flavor in the finished broth. Apple cider vinegar goes in before the pressure cook, helping draw minerals and collagen out of the bones so you end up with a broth that's genuinely nourishing, not just flavored water. The Instant Pot does the heavy lifting, compressing what would traditionally be an all-day simmer into a hands-off two-hour pressure cook — no babysitting, no stovetop steam. Every single ingredient here is clean and compliant, so there's no label-reading stress or wondering whether a store-bought carton snuck in any off-plan additives. Once chilled and skimmed, the broth is ready to sip straight from a mug, use as a braising liquid, or stir into soups and sauces throughout the week. It's one of those foundational recipes that quietly makes everything else you cook taste better.
