Rich, deeply savory, and built on a long slow simmer, this bone broth is the kind of thing that makes your whole kitchen smell incredible for hours. Roasting the bones first coaxes out a deep, caramelized flavor before they ever hit the pot, and the dried shiitake mushrooms add an earthy, umami backbone that takes the broth to another level entirely. Managing fructose intake can make flavoring broths tricky, since many store-bought versions sneak in onion powder, garlic concentrates, or other high-fructose additives ā here, every ingredient is whole and straightforward, so you stay in control. The apple cider vinegar helps draw minerals from the bones during the long cook, while fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and parsley keep the flavor bright without adding anything problematic. After 10 to 12 hours of gentle simmering, you end up with a glossy, amber broth that's genuinely nourishing and endlessly versatile. Sip it warm from a mug, use it as a base for soups, or stir it into grains ā it stores beautifully in the fridge once you skim the solidified fat from the top.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the beef bones in a single layer in a large roasting pan and roast for 30ā35 minutes, until deeply browned on the surface.
Transfer the roasted bones to a 12-quart (or larger) stockpot. Pour off and discard any excess fat from the roasting pan, then add 1 cup of the cold water to the pan and scrape up the browned bits with a wooden spoon. Pour this liquid into the stockpot.
